Fishing…on the Annan

Applegarth House is, as you might expect, handily situated on the banks of the Applegarth Beat on the River Annan. Our fishing guests love the fact that they can take a short stroll to flick a fly.

The Annan has always been regarded as an excellent Salmon and Sea Trout river. As is the case with all Scottish rivers, the numbers have declined. However, there is still every chance to catch these fabulous fish. Countering this wane of Salmon and Sea Trout, The Annan is seeing an exciting resurgence of Brown Trout (some as big as 4-5 lbs) and Grayling.

The 64 km (nearly 40 miles) length of the Annan offers a wide variety of beats in beautiful countryside. We can arrange a local guide for the Applegarth Beat and guides elsewhere – see link below.

Fishing…on Castle Loch
