Beauly Angling Club Ladies Day Registration – Fill in form
River Opening:
Saturday 14th February at 11am.
An excellent turnout of members and guests on a nice dry, sunny but cold day.
A crowd turned out along the river bank with the Piper leading us to the water for a speech and the toast delivered by committee member Jim Braithwaite. Jim (and the rest of the members) was hoping that this season would be much better than 2025 – only one salmon caught – and that the water heights would not be too high or too low but just right for the Salmon.
Many thanks to Ord Distillery for their donation of a bottle of Singleton for us all to toast the river with a local spirit after Jim Braithwaite tossed the first offering into the waters.
One of our more outstanding Juniors, Murray Mackenzie, gave the first official cast of the Season followed with refreshments of hot sausage rolls and bread pudding, chocolate tray bake, tablet and a lovely iced cake from Gift Hardwick.
The raffle went well again this year. Thank you for all the donations from members and guests, both spirit and fish related prizes in the main.
Thank you to Trudie Clarke and the Scottish Invasive Species Initiative for advising us about balsams, knotweed and a surprisingly lifelike mink perched on the top of her car.
And a final thank you to the Ghillies for the use of the Fishing Hut (with a warm stove inside)
Many thanks to John Szarkiewicz for the first pictures of the day:

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.
