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.
