THE FISHINGS The Lower River Beauly Fishings are regarded as the prime beat of the Beauly system, accounting for around 60% of all salmon caught. The Fishings extend to approximately 2 miles on both banks of the River. The Lower River is divided into three beats Falls, Home and Downie. The three beats rotate daily. Each beat has its own comfortable, log-cabin style fishing hut. There are three experienced ghillies on the fishings, one for each beat. The cost of ghillies is included in the annual management expenses. The Fishings are divided into 28 time-share weeks each composed of three five rod beats. There are two rods available to purchase in Week 31. The successful purchaser will acquire a certificate of ownership for the rod/s in perpetuity. Week 31 falls in early to mid-september. The fish catches for week 31 (fifteen rods) indicate a ten-year average of 23.1 and a five-year average of 15.2. ANNUAL MANAGEMENT CHARGES Owners are bound to pay a share of annual running costs of the Fishings. The management expense charge for a single rod in week 31 in 2018 is 547.08. CONSERVATION LEGISLATION The Conservation of Salmon (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2018 are now in force and impose conservation measures on salmon fisheries. In 2018 the Beauly system has been allocated category three status, imposing a legal requirement to implement 100% catch and release of salmon. The conservation status will be reviewed annually.
