The River Shin is, with the Oykel, Carron and Cassley, one of the Kyle of Sutherland's four famous rivers. Like the Awe, Ewe and Kirkaig, the Shin has long been famous for being a small river that holds huge fish.
Unlike the others though, the Shin's water level is held up by two hydro dams, meaning the river remains at a very good fishing height throughout the summer months.
Every week of the season holds a chance of landing a great fish.
Guests regularly land fish in excess of 20lbs, and fish of 30lbs or more are often seen and indeed netted for the hatchery. A 38lb salmon was landed in the Shin in 2012 and another one in 2014.
