Fishing

Fishing

The local rivers, lochs and coastline around Ackergill Tower offer fishermen and women many challenges. Salmon, trout or deep sea fishing are all on offer.

Salmon

A choice of rivers means Salmon fishing is available throughout the season from commencement in February through until the end of October. Rods can be booked on the Forss, Thurso, Halladale and Naver.

Trout

Ackergill has its own loch and is centrally located for famous waters like Loch Watten, Loch St Johns, Heilan, Calder, Reay Lochs and Toftingall.

Deep sea angling

The coastline that surrounds Caithness is a favourite spot for National and International Anglers. The catch of the day depends on the season but fishing is possible throughout the year. From the shore Cole Fish (Cuddies), Pollack, Cod, Dog Fish, Flounder, Place, Mackerel and Conger Eel and in deeper water from a boat all of these plus Haddock, Turbot, Skate, Halibut, Ling and Porbeagle Shark.
