Accommodation

river views.
Salmon and Trout Fishing
The Thurso river is said to be one of Scotland's top five salmon
rivers to be managed as an entire river system. Geographically fortunate,
its headwaters rise amongst the unspoilt upland moors of Caithness, flowing
over a largely gravel bottom, the principal tributary's merge and flow
into Loch More.
At the outlet of Loch More there
is a dam and a fish ladder. The dam was built over a hundred years
ago specifically with angling in mind, the dam permits the beats downstream
to be maintained at an optimum fishing level through up to six weeks
of drought.
Below Loch More the river flows
first through moorland continuing in pools and streams down through
farmland to its estuary at Thurso on the wild north Atlantic coast.
Salmon fishing is from 2nd January
to 5th October, starting at £36.50
per day.
 
Shooting
Strathmore has been famous as a dogging grouse moor since
the days of black powder. Walking up over English setters is available
from 12th August-mid September at £600 per party per day (2 guns).
In addition to the grouse, Strathmore offers a variety of rough shooting
and duck and geese flighting. Flighting from £30
per gun/rough shooting £65 per gun (2 guns minimum).
 
Stalking
Mature
red stags begin to arrive on the ground towards the end of September
prior to the rut. The early days of the four week season provide challenging
stalking in the open vastness of Caithness, but as the rut progresses,
one can find oneself stalking "amongst the deer". From £250
per stag.
In
addition to the red deer stalking, hinds and roe are available in season.
Prices on application. Strathmore
welcomes all stalkers from total novices to the most experienced. |
