In the heart of scenic Glen Garry, Tomdoun and East Glenquoich fishings offer approximately five miles of exclusive salmon fishing on the upper River Garry. The fishery includes four distinct beats, each offering varied water and traditional Highland character.
Geargarry Beat offers double-bank fishing on the headwaters of the River Garry. A mountain stream with long pools, fast runs, turns, and pots – ideal for those who enjoy a more active style of fishing.
Kingie Beat is home to the renowned Kingie Pool, this stretch offers a classic Highland fishing experience and the opportunity to fish one of the river’s most iconic pools.
Poulary Beat features four main pools, with additional runs and pots. The fly works well here, and spinning is permitted in high water. Chest waders are a must due to variable depths.
Tomdoun Beat is best suited to the big salmon rod. It features four main pools, including Garrygulach – the final pool before the river flows into Loch Garry.
All beats are fishable with a permit. The fishings are featured in Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing (Series 5) – available on BBC iPlayer.
