Seasons
While Rothes Glen is renowned for its whisky and country pursuits, the fishing opportunities are best described as seasonal and dependent on the local rivers and lochs. The Spey River, a stone's throw away, is historically significant for salmon fishing, suggesting prime opportunities during the salmon runs, typically from late spring through autumn. For those seeking a more tranquil experience, the private lochan on the estate grounds offers a serene setting for fishing, though specific species and optimal times are not detailed. Given the lodge's operation throughout the year for its other experiences, it's reasonable to assume fishing can be arranged during their open months, but specific seasonal patterns for species beyond salmon are not explicitly provided.
