This river could be said to have suffered more than most from the effects of hydro-electric activities although the authorities have done their best to adjust a natural imba-lance. The Conon is a conglomerate of waters, gathering a number of tributaries en route. Finding its source in Loch Luichart at the Falls of Conon, it flows down through Loch Achonachie to enter a long estuary at Dingwall. Summer grilse fishing can be really good and so is the summer fishing for sea trout. The river also contains brown trout. Access for visitors is reasonable to good.

This river flows from Loch Glascar-noch through Garbat to join the Conon and provides more consis-tent sport than its parent in the early summer months for salmon, these fish having passed through the lower beats.
