Fishing

Altnaharra’s unique location, amongst the rugged beauty of Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, places it at the heart of some of finest fishing in Scotland. Altnaharra has the famous Loch Naver on its doorstep – over 6 miles in length, this large Highland loch offers salmon fishing, sea trout and wild brown trout fishing, with the occasional char and ferrox. Loch Hope, also just a short drive from Altnaharra, is an amazing 1 mile across and over 6 miles long and is possibly Scotland’s finest sea trout water. The hotel has its own boats on both waters that make for the best fishing holidays in Scotland.

Scottish River Fishing & Loch Fishing

For Scottish river fishing, the hotel has its own, private 1¾ mile stretch of the River Mudale and can periodically arrange fishing on a number of other Highland rivers including The Strathmore, The Naver and The Borgie.
