Fishing in and around Boat of Garten

The mighty River Spey famous for Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout, runs along the edge of the village and for the enthusiastic angler there is a choice of beats available. Salmon Fishing on the Spey starts on the 11th February and finishes on the 30th September, whereas the trout fishing season starts on the 15th March and ends at the same time as the salmon fishing season.

The Abernethy Angling Improvement Association offer over six miles on both banks of fishing on this famous river. Just up stream from the village is the privately owned Kinchurdy Salmon fishings who offer their waters as double bank fishings in two beats. Each beat will allow up to five people to fish and the Strathspey Estate provides a full time Ghillie.

Not only do you have the chance of seeing the Salmon and Sea Trout jumping but you may be lucky and have a brief view of the Prince of Fishermen, the Otter, patrolling his territory.
