The hotel has just purchased a great pool on the Lochay for salmon and trout fishing. The season begins on January 15th and there are three rods available on this beat. The beat has not been used for many years but the salmon count on the Lochay is always good.
Fishing equipment will need to be supplied by the user. The season ends mid October. Also, fishing for Trout and Salmon on the Lochay pool will be free for residents.
