Experience epic wild salmon and sea trout river fishing on one of the finest beats of the River Deveron. With your own dedicated ghillie, you’ll have the best chance to hook those elusive salmon.
Our angling is exclusively available to our holiday guests, and is perfect for complete beginners requiring tuition, to experienced anglers looking for a guided experience.
Bridge Lodge
The Bridge Lodge is always included with a day of fishing, and can also be hired for the day by resident guests who aren’t fishing. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place to bring a book or a picnic to disconnect with the sounds of the river.
