 | Salmon Fishing on Banchor Beat
The River Findhorn rises in the Monadhliath Mountains above Strathdearn and is fed by numerous tributaries as it tumbles over a bed of rocks and gravel to the Moray Firth at Findhorn Bay. It is set in stunning scenery, unfolding from wild and mountainous moorland to rocky tree-clad gorges and, over the last few miles to the sea, flat farming land.
The river is renowned among salmon anglers. Its pools and streams produce exhilarating salmon fishing from the first springers through heavy runs of grilse in May and June to a steady supply of summer and early autumn fish.
Banchor Beat is also known as the Laird's Beat of Cawdor Castle to which it belongs; is available to let for 2 rods for either 3 days or a week. It reflects all that is magical about the Findhorn, in its scenery and the opportunities to take all classes of salmon from an array of pools and streams. It marks the start of the rocky wooded gorge which ends over 20 miles away near Forres. |
Tariff
