Update: 27th April 2025
The meeting had a reasonable attendance and a few ideas put forward for our next actions as a Club regarding the varying river heights experienced last year.
This year has not been much better with low water since February – but we have had little rain compared to a normal Spring.
A few fishers have been down our beats but nothing reported yet, but a possible 18lb on the upper beats near the dam.
Toby has been out again last week but on the Club beats this time and caught a sea trout – the first reported one this season.
The Downie beats have had 6 reported catches by Club members for 2025.
Toby Hardwick has sent a picture of his Sea Trout from the Downie.

The Beauly Angling Club provides members with affordable access to river and firth for Salmon and Sea Trout.
The club was founded during the Second World War by the late Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, and became known as the Beauly Angling Club in the mid 1980s.
Our fishing on the River Beauly extends downstream from Lovat Bridge to Wester Lovat; this equates to around 7 miles of bank fishing with ten named pools.
The fishing on the inner half of the Beauly Firth is also included in club membership offering saltwater fly fishing, spinning and bait fishing predominately for Sea Trout. We have a number of exchange tickets set up with other Angling Clubs across Scotland.
We will have exchange tickets and also offer concessionary waters – please see the menu from the Members & Club Information pages after the Season begins
The club holds a number of friendly competitions for members held on different waters and regularly fields teams in inter-club competitions during the season, please see the Competitions page.
- In 2014 we launched a junior member development programme aimed at bringing the next generation of anglers into the sport. After the success of Junior Fishing Days in 2021 through 2024, the Club plan to hold more days in 2025 – check the website and Facebook for details and Yorky or Karl should be getting in contact as well to those Juniors who have joined this year.
Who can join? The club is open to potential members from all over the Highlands & Islands. We would particularly welcome applications from potential junior members.
