WELCOME TO Dornoch & District Angling Association

Welcome

Dornoch & District Angling Association (DDAA) has been in existence since the early 1960s. The fishing made available to members and visitors alike has changed over the years - gradually increasing the opportunities to cast a fly. Most of the fishing is for wild fish, but there is fishing available for Rainbow and Blue trout.

All the fishing is by fly only and if there are restrictions on catches they will be specified on the details provided for each loch. Some fishing is bank only, some boat only and the others are available for both bank and boat. The landlords determine what we can provide and all anglers are requested to follow all the rules as well as adhering to the Country Code. 

Keys, when required, can be picked up from The Dornoch Stores, Dornoch after 8am on the day of you have booked, unless you have made prior arrangements to pick up earlier. Boat permits are sold with a preference of a maximum of 2 anglers, bank permits are for one angler. If the Stores are closed when you return the key, please use their letter box.

Fly fishing is only part of what Dornoch has to offer. Please click here to see what other attractions there are for you to consider when you are in the area.
