WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

The spectacular scenery, great food, comfortable accommodation and top class service that you receive at Thatch Cottage Fishing Lodge are important but at the end of the day it is all about the fish. Whether it’s a sea liced salmon taking your fly on our private beats of the local river or the first savage run of a bass that has your reel screaming, we can help make it happen. Using the traditional methods of loch style fishing from a drifting boat for beautiful wild brown trout and sea trout, trying new up to the minute techniques to take mullet on fly, or learning some of the deadly new ways to catch big bass on soft plastic lures, our experience will help you have a fishing holiday to remember.
