After what seems like an eternity the recent lift in water has finally brought the fish in. A lot of anglers were out but Chris McWilliam registered the first fish of the season from Cawdor pot. This was closely followed by another fish reported by Sandy Wallace. Well done to both hopefully there will be a few more in the book by the end of the day.

The NAA committee are pleased to announce that the River Nairn is now open to anglers once again. Please note that until the SEPA gauge reaches 0.45, fishing will be restricted to fly fishing only. Once the level exceeds 0.45, all approved methods will resume under the usual permit conditions.

A huge thank you goes out to our incredible Elte squad members for their dedicated efforts in tidying and improving access throughout many areas of the club waters. Your hard work has made a noticeable difference, and we’re sure fellow members will truly appreciate the fantastic improvements.

Notice to Members: Temporary Closure of Nairn Angling Association Fishings

As many of you are aware, the river levels have remained exceptionally low for some time. This is having a detrimental impact on fish stocks in the River Nairn.
In response, the committee has decided that, with immediate effect, all Nairn Angling Association fishings will be temporarily closed. Fishing will only resume once the river level reaches 0.45 metres on the Firhall SEPA gauge.
Our river bailiffs will be actively monitoring all beats to ensure compliance with this policy. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping to protect the river and salmon\seatrout stocks.

The committee is pleased to announce that we have agreed to lease the Cawdor Fishing beat from the 1st April 2025, the l...

The committee is pleased to announce that we have agreed to lease the Cawdor Fishing beat from the 1st April 2025, the lease will be for a period of 3 years.

The beat is from the Castle Pool down to the Hanger pool which is the right bank if you are looking downstream. Please note that this beat is FLY ONLY the use of spinner or worm is not permitted at any time.

​
As the permits have already been printed and issued to many members it is essential that you keep a note of fish caught on this beat same as we do for other beats. As there is no place on the permit to record this, can you please use blank pages 22 to 23 and put all the relevant information about your catches, man days fished etc as you would for the other beats.

​
The Cawdor beat will give members access to a number new pools. The committee hope you will enjoy fishing the new beat.

The River Nairn does have a run of spring fish from the beginning of March. Some of these fish can be real belters so don't fish too light 😁
