A full report with details of any fish caught mus be sent to Atholl Sporting promptly.
If you have any problems please contact Atholl Sporting immediately, so we have time to act before you leave. Failure to do so will severely hamper any chances of us obtaining fair redress for you. You need to bring your own fishing equipment (rods, reels, lines, flies etc). You need to be reasonably healthy and mobile to access most fishings. If you are not, you must notify Atholl Sorting before you book, to ensure that you can be looked after safely and properly. Anglers are reminded that parking of cars should be in designated parking areas and is always at the angler’s own risk.
