I’ve always fancied renting a cottage with private Salmon fishing but they seem few and far between. Anyone had any experience of decent water with accommodation?
Another is ivy cottage right on the banks of the river lochy near Fort William. Fantastic cottage and we’ve had some great weeks there in the past.

It is indeed, saw a seperate advert for it for sale somewhere else on the internet last night.Is that the one for sale in T&S this month? Think it is...
It is called "the woodlands" I stayed here twice a year for thirty years, the place is superb and I have fond memories of the house and the fishing.Colin on the Tay at Dalmarnock has a beautiful cottage set back up the hill from the beat.

Ohh must have put it on the market then. It would seem it’s still available to the anglers on the Lochy web page for now.
suit someone who likes isolation as it’s right at the end of a small long access road.
hope it gets used and not just a holiday home for rich person(s)
I don't know why, they have a world leading hatchery, that makes indigenous smolts from introduced Norwegian genes, and it doesn't cost that much because the salmon farms help fund it, just so that it's ok to provide lice soup for the newly invented indigenous smolts to have a party in on their way to sea.There were quite a few properties in that neck for sale (along with a share of the river, writings on the wall maybe....)
Middle Mertoun on River Tweed. Peaceful setting right by the river, the noise of rushing water lulls you to sleep. The cottage is comfortable and sleeps 4 or so, and the fishing is some of the best on middle Tweed, and St. Boswells village with the essential amenities is only minutes away. Perfect, and quite reasonably priced between a few of you.I’ve always fancied renting a cottage with private Salmon fishing but they seem few and far between.

The Lochy was always known as dead men’s shoes as well. How sad to see this. I’m not blind and whilst fishpal stats aren’t everything I’ve noticed those 20-30 pound fish that turned up regular away every year, now seem non existent.The Lochy is a dead river. I was up there twice 2 years ago and we never saw a fin. The ghillie admitted the river was in a desperate state. The locals were not even bothering to fish the tiderace at the bottom which tells you something. Beautiful river, we rented a terrific lodge 5 minutes from beats but no fish. Such a shame![]()
Can I ask how the Lochy is fishing these days ?Another is ivy cottage right on the banks of the river lochy near Fort William. Fantastic cottage and we’ve had some great weeks there in the past.

Not fished it since I gave up my week on it in 2013. It was getting really bad then so god knows how it’s performing nowadaysCan I ask how the Lochy is fishing these days ?
Apologies .
I know...never hear anything about it these days... beautiful river.Not fished it since I gave up my week on it in 2013. It was getting really bad then so god knows how it’s performing nowadays
Yes I’m sure many of the do. This year after the Covid lockdown we fancied a week somewhere in October and from Wales, lakes, West country to Scotland we couldn’t find a single cottage with or without fishing anywhere.Does anyone know if any of these would suit a shorter let? Perhaps only a thurs/fri/sat ?
Thank you
