UPDATE 26th May 2024.
JUNIOR MEMBERS: In-boxes should have an email with a Junior Membership form to complete and return to our Membership Secretary – Ewen Robertson. Also, if you know of a Junior who might like to join, the form is available on our website. After clearing some weed, we plan to hold a competition as soon as enough members have joined to start the season. Yorky will be contacting Junior Members and we hope to run the first session by the end of May/ early June.
Weed Clearing at Orrin Lochs – 27th April.
With the Junior Season starting soon, the Club members cleared some of the weed that has grown up through Orrin Lochs.
All as discussed at the first meeting of the 2024 year – meeting minutes available on the News section of the site.
Clearing weed at Orrin: Thank you to all those who came to help including one of our Junior members, Charlie. We managed to clear back a lot of the weed which was growing into the better fishing areas of the Lochs.

Opening Day on the River Beauly.
An excellent morning was had when we opened the River from the Downie Fishing Hut. A wonderful young piper took us down to the water for Jim Braithwaite to give the toast to the River echoed by all with a wee dram donated by the Ord Distillery. Ewen Robertson made the first official cast onto the River at the Island Run.
Refreshments of sausage rolls and bread pudding were soon eaten followed with fudges and chocolate slices from Margaret and Liz and an amazing decorated and tasty cake from Gift – see photographs. There was a great response to our first raffle of the year with many prizes donated by the local community and club – a rough list and photograph is shown on the Gallery pages.
Access was a problem for some of those attending as following the recent heavy rain and flooding, which meant part of the track was well under water, but wellies and determination saw them through up to the Downie hut. Thank you to the SUV and 4×4 drivers who were able to give lifts to those with lower sub-frames who parked up before the ‘flood’.
Many thanks also to all members and guests for their help and assistance in making the morning go well and in making everyone feel welcome to our River Opening.
Pictures are shown on our Gallery pages and the Highland News sent Jamie, their photographer, along to snap the important toast to the River. We may see some of their pictures in the Courier come Tuesday or Friday.

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, 2022 and 2023, the Club plan to hold more days in 2024 – check the website and Facebook for details and Yorky or Karl should be getting in contact as well.
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.
