Winner of Good Hotel Guide's Editor's Choice Fishing 2024 Award!
Shieldaig Lodge Hotel is the perfect base for travelling fishing parties. Enjoy access to 26,000 acres of first-class fly fishing, with salmon and sea trout fishing on Loch Badachro and the River Badachro and brown trout fishing on the famous Fairy Lochs.
The hotel has fishing rights in nine major and numerous smaller lochans, with boats on six of these. Beginners of any age are welcome. Fly fishing lessons typically start on the lawn of the Lodge, and once you have mastered the cast you will progress onto a loch with a personal instructor.
We also have an agreement with a local creel fisherman. It is one of only two places in the UK where you can creel fish. You will get the chance to see traditional creel fishing and will nearly always return with crab, lobster or langoustine! Our chef will happily prepare a special meal with your catch of the day.
