It offers salmon and trout fishing on the river Dochart which flows eastwards for 13 miles
(21 km) from Loch Dochart at the head of Glen Dochart, Stirling through to Loch Tay at Killin.

As with all upper reaches, fishing is highly dependent on water conditions.
The river is small until it reaches Killin where the Falls of Dochart can be a spectacular sight.
When in full spate these falls can frequently hold fish up.
The river Dochart lies just at the back of the hotel.

The River Teith

The Lanrick Estate water is situated between Doune and Callander and extends for 3. 5 miles of which 2 miles are single bank and 1.5 miles are double bank fishing. There are 16 named pools amid a magnificent woodland and parkland setting. The season is from 1st Feb until 31st Oct.

The River Teith enjoys a traditional spring run from the opening day followed by an exciting sea trout run between March and July accompanied by a less predictable grilse run. An excellent autumn run continues from late August until the end of the season in October.

The Teith has a well deserved reputation for some large fish and every year fish over 20lbs and even some over 30lbs are landed.

Day and weekly tickets for up to six rods are available throughout the season although as some bookings are made well in advance especially during the autumn you are advised to book early.

The Lanrick water is divided into two beats, Upper and Lower Lanrick both of which may be booked separately through the Estate Office. (Full contact details as below)

Two rods are permitted on the Upper Beat and a maximum of four on the Lower Beat. The Lower Beat is exclusively fly only while spinning is permitted on the Upper Beat during very high water.

Normal fishing hours are from 9.00am until 5.30pm. Special arrangements for evening and night time fishing and all other queries may be made with the Estate Office. A 15ft fly rod is suitable for most of the year although smaller rods are appropriate in low water conditions. A house rod is retained throughout the season. A voluntary catch and release policy is operated and anglers are encouraged to return fish in order to aid the recovery of stocks.

A experienced resident ghillie may be booked to provide assistance and advice and it is suggested that all new guests use this service to increase their chances of success and help identify the pools in differing water conditions. Guests will also greatly benefit from an all terrain vehicle which makes travelling along the river much easier. The ghillie can also give casting lessons for beginners who wish to learn the art of fly fishing.

The rate per rod varies throughout the season starting at £35 plus VAT for a single rod per day. For further information regarding availability of fishing and associated rates please contact The Lanrick Estate Office or visit their own website for more in depth details of The Lanrick Estate.
