Fishing services
If you’d like some guidance, you may wish to hire one of our knowledgeable ghillies for the day. You’ll meet your ghillie at the hotel in the morning and they will accompany you on your fishing trip, providing expert knowledge, tips and advice. We also offer a wide range of high-tech tackle for hire, including rods, reels and lines. In addition, we can provide transport to and from the beats on your fishing day, which you must book in advance.
The Ghillie’s Room
The Ghillie’s Room is the meeting point for ghillies and guests on any given morning during the season, and the senior ghillie can also be found here most mornings. Along with comfortable seating and hot drinks facilities, you can also find useful snippets of information and regular updates from our team of ghillies on current conditions and tactics on the river.
The Rod Room
Having a safe rod room is essential to any fishing trip, and at the Ulbster Arms all fishing guests have exclusive access to this spacious room. The rod room is large enough to accommodate up to 48 rods.
The Drying Room
There’s nothing worse than putting on damp, cold clothing to start your day. Our drying room is spacious and will comfortably dry any wet clothing overnight. While generally used by our fishing guests, all hotel guests are welcome to use our drying room. It has proved popular with runners, cyclists and watersports enthusiasts.
