Salmon Fishing on the River Inver
The River Inver flows for six miles from Loch Assynt, through a heavily wooded valley, to enter the sea at Lochinver. Catches have declined in recent years but upwards of 200 salmon might be caught in a good year. Sadly, the runs of sea trout have almost disappeared.
The main Inver salmon runs come in the summer months of June, July and August. September can see good fishing following a dry summer. Many of the salmon will run into Loch Assynt, where boats fishing out of the Inchnadamph hotel can account for something like 50 salmon in a season.

Note: the maps on this website are extracts from the Bartholomew “Half Inch” map series dating back to the middle of the twentieth century. There have been many changes since the maps were made, and much of the human detail, e.g. buildings and roads, will have changed over the period. It is to be hoped, however, that the character of our Scottish rivers, and the trout and salmon in them, will not have altered too dramatically over the years and that they may still offer the wonderful fishing prospects of days gone by. Bearing the above in mind, anyone planning a fishing or walking trip in Scotland is advised to equip themselves with a compass and the appropriate up-to-date Ordnance Survey map, the most useful for the angler probably being the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For River Inver, see O.S. map number 15.
