Information on the River Shiel:
The River Shiel drains the fresh-water Loch Shiel to the sea-water Loch
Moidart.
Loch Shiel is 18 miles long flowing from beside the Jacobite monument at
Glenfinnan in the north through spectacular mountain scenery to the
start of the River Shiel only quarter of a mile from Rowanhill.
The river flows past Rowanhill and under the new and old bridges through beautiful countryside for about 3 miles before plunging over a spectacular waterfall into the sea loch which at high tide fills the waterfall and dams the river.

River Shiel is a very beautiful west coast river with a
surprising number and variety of named pools. Fishing from the bank, by
wading, and from the stages especially around the House Pool, can be
productive along the whole length of the river from The Loch Point at
Loch Shiel to The Sea Pool and Cairn Pool at Loch Moidart.
Fishing
in the River Shiel is organised by the owners of the opposite
banks in a two-beat system fishing both banks of the upper part and then
the lower part of the river for half a day each. A catch and release
policy has been adopted.
Salmon and sea-trout fishing normally starts in May and ends at the end
of September. However early fish are very occasionally seen in April.
By prior arrangement with the owners of Rowanhill, fishing on the river
is occasionally available by the week for up to 5 rods per day.
