There’s no guarantee of catching a ‘monster’ on the River Ness. But Inverness Angling Club (IAC) can promise enjoyable angling on a beautiful river that has built a solid reputation for its fine catches of salmon, grilse and sea trout. These clear, sparkling waters have delivered years of pleasure for the region’s anglers and visitors from many parts of the UK and overseas.

IAC leases double bank fishings for some three miles of water where there is always a good chance of a fish. The five year average up to 2017 was 183 salmon and grilse. Permits are available from Graham’s of Inverness, the leading tackle dealer located in Castle Street (Telephone 01463 233178) where knowledgeable staff can help you to stock up on the most successful flies or lures, and meet all your tackle requirements.
