At a Glance
Scottish Highland fishing lodge near Inverness offering salmon,...
Eagle Brae sits on the banks of Loch Ness near Beauly in the Scottish Highlands, operating ten self-catering log cabins with underfloor heating and modern amenities as a base for guided and unguided fishing. The operation controls beats on the River Glass and River Farrar, tributaries of the Beauly, plus access to hill lochs including Loch an Airidh Fhroaich and Loch Beannacharan in the native Caledonian pinewood of Strathfarrar. Salmon season runs July through mid-October (prime August–October), with fish averaging 5 lb and larger specimens possible in the best pools; trout fishing opens March 15th through October 6th on both rivers and lochs, with the Glass known for larger fish and the Farrar for quantity; pike year-round, with regular 20+ lb catches and specimens exceeding 33 lb documented. Guides are available, tackle is provided, and transfers from Inverness Airport and train station are arranged. The setting combines accessible Highland fishing with proximity to Loch Ness and Glen Affric National Nature Reserve.

Fishing methods and approaches
The fishing season at Eagle Brae is dictated by the salmon and trout runs, offering distinct opportunities throughout the year. Salmon fishing kicks off in July, with the prime months being August through October, culminating at the close of the season on October 15th. These salmon average around 5 lb, though larger specimens, like the 19 lb beauty caught in 2018, are certainly possible in the best pools of the Farrar and Glass rivers, particularly near their confluence into the Beauly River.\n\nTrout fishing opens earlier, from March 15th and running through to October 6th. Anglers can target trout in the River Glass, known for its larger specimens, or the River Farrar, which offers higher quantities of smaller fish. For a more serene experience, the hill loch Loch an Airidh Fhroaich, nestled in the native Caley pinewood of Strathfarrar, provides trout averaging 1 lb. For those seeking a more remote adventure, Loch Beannacharan in Strathfarrar, fished from a boat, can yield a handsome bag of trout in spectacular surroundings.\n\nPike fishing is available year-round, offering a thrilling pursuit for anglers. The River Glass is renowned for its large pike, with guests regularly catching and releasing specimens over 20 lb, and even exceeding 33 lb in 2018. The bay directly in front of Eagle Brae is noted as a prime spot for pike.
