HiFlyFishing.com
HiFlyFishing.com is a subscription-based website providing intelligence on where to find, and how to access, the best game fishing in the Scottish Highlands.
It is the most comprehensive online or offline resource available anywhere for visiting anglers seeking salmon, sea trout and brown trout fishing in the Highlands of Scotland. This information is provided through our unique fly fishing map, geo-directories and media-rich content.
If you are planning next year's salmon fishing trip, a weekend trout fishing break, or your partner has already booked a trip somewhere in the Highlands and you want to find out what fly fishing is available locally, then this site will provide all the information that you need.
Alternatively, you may just enjoy perusing this ever-growing virtual world, simply for the love of fly fishing in the Highlands!
HiFly Fishing Map
At the heart of the site is the HiFly Fishing map and its underlying database. The HiFly map currently includes more than 1900 salmon & trout fisheries. For each loch fishery, river or salmon beat, there is associated data relating to the fishing and permits.
There are also more than 750 photos and 300 unique web page links to fisheries on the map, so you don't have to go through the pain of hundreds of Google searches.
The map's current coverage extends across the Northern Highlands & Islands, encompassing the best fishing spots in Moray, Inverness-shire, Ross-shire, Sutherland, Caithness, Lochaber, Orkney, Skye, Lewis & Harris, North & South Uist and Mull. It currently reaches as far south as Oban on the west coast and to the River Findhorn catchment on the east coast.
HiFly Fishing Website
The website provides the interface to interact with the map and data via 16 fishing areas. For each area there are directories listing the top trout fishing lochs & areas, such as Assynt, Durness, Lairg, Kinbrace, Caithness, Orkney, Skye, Mull, Lewis & Harris, South & North Uist etc., and the best Highland salmon rivers.
The individual river directories include information on salmon beats for the Findhorn, Ness, Nairn, Beauly, Conon, Alness, Carron, Shin, Cassley, Oykel, Brora, Helmsdale, Wick, Thurso, Halladale, Naver, Dionard, Inver, Kirkaig, Gruinard, Ewe, Carron, Shiel and Lochy etc., as well as the loch systems of Lewis & Harris and the Uists.
The HiFly site provides directory listings for 330 fisheries, showcasing the best of the fishing in each area, and augmenting it with rich content such as photos, beat maps/loch maps and videos.
The site and map are designed for optimum viewing on a PC/Mac laptop or desktop, where screen size is a significant benefit, though all of the content is still accessible on smartphones and tablets.
