An incredible part of the world. Fishing here in the tidal pools really does make for some good fishing when the river is low on the beats of the river. When I fished at the end of June 17 the river was incredibly low and fishing the tidal pools was absolutely brilliant. An abundance of small sea trout and I even lost a couple of salmon. Some big browns taking the fly also. 

The fishing in the Tidal pools comes as a bonus when your are paying to fish the beats above. I believe that the estate can also issue permission to fish the tidal pools if your lucky. 

The Halladale River is a productive salmon fishery with a five year average catch of 759 salmon and grilse.

The fishable river is about 15 miles in length and flows through beautiful wilderness scenery into the Pentland Firth. It comprises 6 beats and over 50 named pools.

Fishing is usually let with one, or a combination, of three comfortably appointed cottages. Accommodation is also sometimes available at the magnificent Bighouse Lodge. There is excellent loch fishing for wild brown trout, a fine local 18 hole golf course and stunning sandy beaches for those who want to engage in other activities.

Bookings are usually made in November for the following season but it is always worth checking availability for cancellations.
