One of Sutherland's best salmon rivers, the Brora has a catchment area covering 165 square miles. The two main tributaries, the upper Brora and Blackwater meet near Balnacoil, and after a short run enter Loch Brora, a sheet of water four miles long and a mile wide.

The Lower Brora flows from the loch for about three miles through some delightful countryside before falling into the sea. The north and the south bank are operated on a rotational arrangement whereby tenants, although fishing their own bank, never fish opposite each other. There is an ongoing programme of river improvements to enhance the fishing in all conditions, and a feature of the lower river is that it often fishes best in low water. There are now 29 named pools including the Ford, Rallan, Bengie and Madman.

Apart from providing some wonderful fly water, The Lower Brora enjoys a full season from February through to October, and continues to enjoy a consistent spring run, excellent summer grilse fishing and a true autumn run in September and October, with fresh fish being caught up to the last day of the season. In recent years, catches of over 20 fish per week have not been uncommon, one week recording over 40 fish during two consecutive seasons. 2010 was probably the best season in the last decade, in line with many other northern rivers. 2011 has enjoyed good runs of fish despite the consistently high water over much of the season. The highlight was the capture and release of a 30lb fish in July.

There are no resident ghillies although ghillies can usually be arranged given adequate notice.

Lodge accommodation can also be arranged with prior notice.
