Get Hooked on Loch Ness
A guided fishing experience like no other
Our Loch Ness Fishing Trips
Loch Ness isn't just famous for its legendary monster — it's also home to some seriously exciting fishing. Spend the day trolling its mysterious depths in search of powerful Atlantic Salmon & Ferrox Trout while taking in some of Scotland’s most stunning scenery.
Based in Inverness, Loch Ness Fishing Trips provide guided fishing adventures in and around the stunning capital of the Highlands.
Trolling, Fly fishing or Spinning - Lochs, Streams or Rivers, we can arrange your perfect days fishing!
Atlantic Salmon
Fishing on Loch Ness is usually done by way of Trolling Lures for the mighty Atlantic Salmon (though we usually catch a few Brown Trout whilst we're waiting for a Salmon to take our lure!) This is a great way to cover lots of water & see plenty of great scenery at the same time.... We can travel 20 miles or more during the course of a full days Trolling!
Brown & Ferrox Trout
We can Troll or Fly Fish for Brown Trout & can combine the two methods during the course of your day.
We also occasionally catch the large, predatory Ferrox Trout while trolling for Salmon but we can specifically target these awesome Fish by moving into deeper water and using a downrigger to get our baits/lures down to the correct depth. Ferrox trout are quite rare so a great deal of patience is required when fishing for them!
The Trip
Experience the wild beauty of Loch Ness like never before — rod in hand, mist on the water, and adventure in the air. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just keen to escape into nature for the day, our guided fishing trips take the hassle out of planning. We provide everything you need for a memorable day on the loch — you just bring yourself, some warm layers, and maybe a little hope for a Nessie sighting.
- All equipment is provided – Boat, Rods, Permit, Tackle, Life Jackets & Waders, soft drinks etc so all you need to bring along is yourself & some warm clothes.
- Transport from Hotels/Accommodation in the Inverness area can be provided & we can pick up some lunch on the short Journey to the village of 'Dores', situated on the shores of Loch Ness.
- Half Day (4hrs), ¾ Day (6hrs), & Full Day (8hrs) options. With flexible start & finish times.
- There may be a chance to pull in for a shore lunch on ¾ & Full Days if conditions allow it.
- Unfortunately there is no Sunday fishing.
Fly Fishing
If you fancy a spot of fly fishing, we can take up to two guests per trip with one person casting at a time from the boat. Fly fishing for Brown and Sea Trout on Loch Ness is usually done by the traditional style of ‘drifting’. This involves the ghillie using the oars to keep the boat drifting broadside with the wind while the guest casts and retrieves a team of wet flies.
Another productive method is 'crosscasting' which involves casting the fly towards the shore & covering rocks & overhanging bushes for Trout while still trolling for Salmon.
This method is great when two Guests are onboard as one can fly fish & the other can troll.
Fly fishing on Loch Ness is generally better when there is a decent breeze.
Other Rivers, Remote Streams and Lochs
If the Loch isn't for you, there is also the option to visit some remote streams/small rivers to fly-fish for Small, Wild Brown Trout or larger rivers for Atlantic Salmon in stunning locations. This can be a secondary option for when Loch Ness is too rough, or can be the main trip if desired.
We can also provide Fly-Fishing trips to Lochs for large Rainbow Trout, and cater for larger groups
Fly fishing tuition is also available

Brown & Ferrox Trout
We can also Fly Fish for Brown Trout & can combine the two methods during the course of your day. We also occasionally catch large, predatory Ferrox Trout while trolling for Salmon, however, if we're targeting them specifically, we tend to use a down rigger & fish over deeper water.
