Glen Tanar Fishing & Stalking

Glen Tanar Fishing & Stalking Traditional Country Pursuits - Highland adventures, wildlife watching and Scottish field sports against dramatic landscapes

17/09/2026

Our stag stalking season is now well underway at Glen Tanar, with the first signs of the rut becoming increasingly evident across the estate. 🦌

The rut is always a special time of year, as the stags become more active and vocal, with their roaring echoing across the glens and hillsides. As the season progresses, the stags compete for the attention of the hinds, displaying their strength through roaring, posturing and challenging one another.

With the autumn colours beginning to appear and the mornings becoming cooler, the estate takes on a completely different character. The photographs below were taken during a recent stalking day and give a great impression of the season getting into full swing.

Thank you to everyone involved in supporting the stalking season so far, and we look forward to the weeks ahead as this spectacular time of year continues. πŸ‚

🎣 A fine fish from the Waterside & Ferrar Beat

A cracking 8lb salmon for Brian Rae yesterday, landed from Cobblies Pool on our Waterside & Ferrar Beat. A lovely fish and a great reward for a day on the river. 🎣

Tight lines, Brian! πŸ‘

A Deecastle belter. 🎣

A proper Dee bar of silver for E Farinoli last week β€” this cracking 15lb salmon landed from the Lucky Hole pool on Deecastle Beat. 🎣

Grand to see fish moving through and rods bending again on the Dee. The Lucky Hole living up to its name with a fine fresh-run fish and a day to remember on the water.

Here’s hoping for more bars of silver for those out on the beat this week. Tight lines all.
