Tackle For Hire! |
|
If you don't have tackle of your own, and you want to have a go,
we have both fly and bait rods, nets, a large selection of flies and lures all
here on site - all you need to bring is yourself. We have a heated lodge, with
toilet facilities for the disabled, as well as a sitting area and a selection of
snacks and hot and cold drinks. Car parking is right beside the lodge, and 30 metres
from the lochs, but disabled anglers are welcome to drive right up to the edge of
the water.

|
Order Flies Direct! |
|
Order flies direct, no post or packing charged. All flies are hand tied and tied to last on Kamasan hooks, with only the best quality materials used. Just ask for details!

|
Stalking and shooting for deer, duck and geese can be arranged on one of the highland estates when in season , along with fishing for salmon and seatrout and wild brown trout on river Spey, Findhorn and many hill lochs.
