We are up that area for a wee family holiday later this month, to top it off Iv been given a pass for a day away fishing.
Anyone got any recommendations, for salmon fishing, rivers-beats etc worth looking at?
that 25lber yesterday might even make me have a day on the loch 😂

Ali - you have plenty of choice, comes down to what you want to spend 
Unless you go out with a Guide, I'd avoid the Loch for a day trip - too much local knowledge needed to find fish.
River Ness:
The Inverness AC water is well worth a punt, especially if the water is low-ish.
Of the two Ness beats on FishPal I'd plump for Dochfour for a day. They had a belting season last year, in part thanks to low water conditions.
River Moriston
Availability can be the snag, but some belting water (as long as the Hydro are generating) and super well-known for the 'spring' run: https://www.glenmoriston.co.uk/fishing If it were me, with some spare cash then I would probably opt for this as my personal choice.
River Oich
Lots of local knowledge needed, try Ala MacGruer of the Oich Fishings on: 07763 108 125
Grahams, the tackle shop in Inverness, may have other details for the Oich - https://www.grahamsonline.co.uk/

That's a start for you

I was looking at the Morriston, but gather they don't generate that often these days, so thought it a bit risky.
The oich will get looked into tomorrow, cheers for the info, much appreciated

[Hamish Young]

Let us know how you get on Ali - and where you decide to go 

[Ali Mcewan]

Will do hamish 
Which would you pick between aberchalder or glen doe water? Read the doe beat is more suited to spinning rather than the fly, would you agree?
I see I posibly know the head keeper on glen doe, so that may come in handy for access 

[Hamish Young]

For reasons outside of my control two trips that I should have had to the Oich last season were cancelled so, to be fair Ali, I've yet to fish the Oich at all
The Aberchalder water looks good  and I'm told there's the bonus of some decent brownies there too

Booked onto  jons bit at glendoe on fri 23rd, may have to leave home sharp on Friday & get a afternoon on aberchalder
Give these Spey lines from mike another run out. So far very impressed 

[Ali Mcewan]

Fished the glen doe  beat of the oich yesterday in none stop rain, river was at a good level with plenty water.
Some great pools, two lads fishing devons had fish of 17 & 20, both sparkling fresh.  Today far better wether wise, but they must have shut water off as it dropped like a stone around noon, it was like a different river.
Highly recommend it for a day, some walking to do if you are new to the beat.  The rock pool & the two below were nice, likewise Canada & the pool above with the out flow from the Caledonian canal were a great swing for the flee

Possibly that was the water on the Garry getting shut down, it does have a marked effect on the system and that would tally with the timing of water shut off I experienced a few weeks ago Pleased you enjoyed the water, I couldn't get on there on Saturday - I tried
