Fishing at Tomdoun
Guests enjoy world-famous fly- and lure-fishing across the Highland Estate’s diverse waters, with the opportunity to venture off-shore into the North Atlantic. Whether casting in the shallows or battling the elements at sea, Tomdoun delivers a truly memorable Scottish fishing experience.
Fly & lure
Running from Loch Garry (Garraidh) in the east to the wilds of Kinloch Hourn – via Loch Quoich (Chuaich) – in the west, the river system provides outstanding fishing year-round. A world-leading location for ferox trout, for wild trout and salmon-in-season, the river, with its many pools, is framed by spectacular mountains and centuries-old forests. The lochs that ring the Estate offer excellent lure fishing, and there’s sea fishing from Kinloch Hourn, where anglers land pollock, spurdog, rays and mackerel.
Poulary Beat & Kingie Pool
A highly productive stretch featuring four main pools with various runs and pots, providing excellent holding spots for fish in both high and low water. Renowned for its salmon and trout, and ideal for traditional fly fishing, revel in the chance to fish the famous Kingie Pool.
Tomdoun Beat
A Beat well suited for the big salmon rod, with wading advantageous in some pools. There’s always a chance of large trout making its way up from Loch Garry during summer and Autumn. Four named pools with Garrygulach the last before the river reaches Loch Garry.

Boat Loch fishing
Private boat fishing is accessible on three lochs: Loch Quoich, Loch Loyne & Loch Garry. Expert guidance by the Estate Gillie ensures anglers make the most of these often unfished lochs. Exceptional pike await in Loch Loyne with the dramatic Quoich famous for ferox trout.
Sea fishing
From Kinloch Hourn spectacular sea fishing awaits beyond the remote Knoydart peninsula. Jig for pollock, spurdog, salmon, rays, cod and mackerel in the rich coastal waters between the west coast and Isle of Skye.
On location
We were delighted to welcome comedians Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse to Tomdoun Estate for the filming of Hit BBC television show Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. The pair fished Loch Quoich and River Garry in search of the famous ferox trout, before spending the night in our two-bedroom fisherman’s cottage. View the episode here.
