River Brogaig
Water managed by Portree Angling Association
Type
River
Species
Brown trout, Salmon, and Sea trout
Migratory run
Salmon run from late June, peaking in July and largely over by the end of August. Sea trout run from June, building to a peak in August and tailing off through September. Spring tides every ~2 weeks bring fresh fish in from the sea to the river mouths.
Next spring tides: 28 Aug – 1 Sep
Sea trout & salmon run Jun–Sep
The River Brogaig runs south for a few miles before emptying into Staffin Bay, a small spate river that depends on fresh rain to bring fish up from the sea. Holding pools are distributed throughout its full length, from the lower reaches all the way to Sartle, giving the river a productive character even when conditions are modest.
It carries runs of sea trout and the occasional salmon, and the upper reaches hold some good brown trout as well. All legal methods are permitted, a choice made to encourage younger anglers into the sport. Parking is available with care in Brogaig itself or at Sartle Cemetery, making access to both ends of the river straightforward.
