Fly Fishing at Tornashean

Our own beat on the river Don of 1.1 miles of double bank is ideal for fishing for wild brown trout and also salmon later in the season.
Tornashean is also ldeal as a base for fishing on the rivers Dee and Spey. I have good contacts at both Ballindalloch Estate on the Spey and Invercauld Fishings on the Dee as well as Kildrummy fishings further down the Don. Fishing can be organised given plenty of notice and fly fishing tuition is also available if required. All fly fishing is catch and release and we take the conservation of the fish and the river habitat very seriously.
