Ness-side is a prime beat of the River Ness ,stretching for almost a  mile in length on both banks, it has 8 large named pools, which are from the top of the beat the, Birch Tree ,Run ,Cairn, Above Bay, The Bay, Gauge, Holm Pool, Lower Holm Pool. The beat lets 5 rods at a time, which rotate during the day, the fishing's are let on a weekly basis between late June and the 15^th October, the facilities at Ness-side are excellent with a modern fully equipped fishing hut which can cater for all your needs, and a full time ghillie is always at hand. The River Ness is a real fly fishers river, at first sight it can seem a very wide river but the Ness in general is a fairly fast but shallow river for its size, and the wading is fairly good in most places ,but the wearing of a life aid is recommended at all times, in high water conditions some spinning can be allowed in the afternoons but fly fishing is preferred most of the time, over the last few years  Ness-side has seen fish numbers slowly increasing with 2005 catch of 267 salmon and grilse the best season for nearly 20 years.

With the fishings at Ness-side guests can stay either at a lovely 4 bed roomed cottage on the estate, which was fully modernised in 1999 and is set only 200 yards away from the river, or stay at the 4 star Drumossie Hotel a short drive away,
