Update: 15th February 2026
River Opening:
Saturday 14th February at 11am.
A lovely sunny day – but thank you to the ghillies for lighting the fire in the hut – the wind was a bit brisk!
A wonderful turnout with Jim Braithwaite toasting the river and inviting one of our accomplished Junior members – Murray Mackenzie – to make the first, excellent cast into the Beauly. to begin our Fishing Season.
The Club would like to thank the Ghillies for use of the fishing hut, Glen Ord distillery providing the Singleton to toast the river, to those providing the hot and cold refreshments (especially in the cold, outdoors!) and to all those who donated to the raffle, which raised a good sum.
Thank you also to Trudie for her words and advice on non-native invasive species and the rather alarming mink on top of her car.

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.
