Fishing on the Little Gruinard

The river runs from the Fionn Loch into Gruinard Bay (famed for Gruinard Island). It lies within the Letterewe Estate, previously owned by Paul Fentener van Vlissingen, a Dutch businessman. The Little Gruinard has been a forerunner in the development of catch and release fishing amongst Scottish salmon rivers.

It drains a catchment area of 81km2.[2]
