About Strontian River

The Strontian River is a relatively short spate river in Sunart, Highland Scotland, known for its steep gradient and rocky character. It provides exciting fishing during high water conditions with excellent runs for sea trout and salmon, though water levels can be unpredictable. The river's narrow, tumbling nature makes it technical but rewarding for experienced anglers.

Anglers should note the close season on Strontian River: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Access on most stretches is via club membership, an estate beat or a local permit — Scotland has no general rod-licence requirement.
