Kildermorie Estate Fishings

Kildermorie Estate Fishings

In 2006 Kildermorie Estate purchased the Burns Water previously controlled by Alness Angling Club. The beat extends for approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) downstream from the confluence with the Blackwater tributary and fishing is from the left bank only (the right bank being owned by Novar). Access is via the forestry track off the Strathrusdale road.

The 5-year average for this beat up to and including 2005 was 43 salmon & grilse per year. The total catch for this beat for 2009 is unknown, however the catch to Alness Angling Club members was 57 salmon & grilse of which 21 were returned (37%).

We understand that the fishing is available exclusively to guests of Kildermorie Estate and Alness Angling Club members.
