Fishermen from far and wide come to the stunning Scottish highlands for chance of catching the famous Scottish salmon. Some of the most bountiful fishing can be had in the highlands area of Sutherland.
There are a number of excellent spate rivers in Sutherland, with the runs usually starting in late summer. The exclusive river Naver which flows from loch Naver and into the sea, contains a high volume of salmon and is a very scenic river to fish. The river Mudale offers excellent salmon and brown trout fishing. There is also the river Strathmore, Borgie and loch Hope.
