Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River Aline

Ardtornish is incredibly fortunate to have salmon and sea trout fishing on the River Aline, an especially beautiful west coast spate river. Running into Loch Aline itself, the river is the route that many salmon take year after year to reach their spawning grounds in the higher land.

This season, the river will not be split into different beats. It will instead be open to a maximum of 6 rods per day.

The cost for fishing this season will be £25.00 per rod per day and £120.00 per rod per week

There is strictly no Sunday fishing on the River Aline, Loch Arienas or Loch Doire Nam Mart.

Popular patterns for the Aline include Ally’s Shrimp, Cascade and Silver Stoat’s Tail.

River Etiquette:

  • If someone is fishing a pool or short stretch of water, never enter the pool, or stretch of water below your fellow angler.
  • When fishing a pool and a fellow angler is waiting to fish, standard practice would be – “cast, 2 steps, cast, 2 steps, cast…..”
  • Common sense is as always expected, and as a basic standard, always be polite with your fellow anglers.

“The untamed rivers and sea lochs of this rare, family-run estate in the western Highlands have us hooked”
Justin Cartwright, Conde Nast Traveler – Dec 2014
