About Ness Side Estate
The Ness Side Estate is situated two miles from the city centre of Inverness, capital of the Highlands, one of Europe’s fastest growing cities. The Estate boast three luxury holiday homes all with views of the River Ness.
Ness Side Estate Description
Ness Side offers outstanding facilities for fishers.
Fishing parties are hosted in the newly refurbished Fishing Bothy, with built-in kitchen, dining and lounge areas. A separate and secure area for rod storage is also available.
The bothy is completed by a furnished patio, with stunning views of the River Ness.
Ness Side lies half way between Loch Ness and the Moray Firth. The stretch of river has a good mixture of pools that fish well in all water levels. As a result of the river being filtered by Loch Ness, the water is rarely coloured, even during high water.
The River Ness is one of Scotland’s shortest salmon rivers at 7 miles in length. The fishing at Ness Side extends to almost a mile and a quarter and can be fished from both banks, giving anglers plenty of space. With a gently angled, shingle river bed, the Ness gives easy access for wading to get that little bit closer to fish.
Reviews
Good season so far at Ness-Side, a few bigger fish starting to appear.
A few fish coming off Ness Side this week and last. Grilse are sneaking through even in the low water conditions, great sport on the lighter tackle. #salmonfishingscotland #riverness #mackenziedtx FishPal

Chilly but nice on the beat today
Opening day at Ness Side on the River Ness.. Thanks to Eric for having the first cast.. Tight lines for 2018..
A bit of tree work on the river today, only a week to go until opening day, let’s hope the water settles down a bit by then
Always a pleasure to host Scott.. 🎣
Ness-Side fishing well
Good start to the week, well done Steven Hulme. Nice to see the Grilse around in some decent numbers
Two very fresh Atlantic Salmon caught today.. John MacAskill pictured with the larger of the two weighing in at a nice 16lb, the other being a 9lb bar of silver that didn’t want to pose for a photo.. Both returned very successfully..
