Shin

Fast flowing rugged Highland river falling 270 feet over its 7 mile length, challenging and beautiful fishing water including the Falls of Shin which allows observers to see just how determined salmon are to surmount any obstacle. Google Map Refence 58.011169, -4.400814

Lairg Estate


Have three miles of double bank fishing from the Dam Pool below the Little Shin Loch dam downstream. Being above the falls of Shin the fishing here does not start until May when fish become inclined to mount this significant barrier. Bank fishing some wading required all covered adequately with a 12 foot rod.

Hooked and lost my first salmon here at age 14, still brings a tear to my eye. Broke my bleeding rod too, boo hoo!
