Mcintosh - son of the chief - part of the Clan Chattan - The Cat.
Originally from the Moray district of Scotland, that's the bit east of
Inverness.

There are lots of places to stay in the area. Inverness itself,
capital of the Highlands, Nairn, Forres, Aviemore, Granton-on-Spey and
many more.

The best time to go would be middle to late May or early September,
the summer months are plagued by the famous Scottish Midge, a small
biting fly that can make a holiday a misery.

As to places to fish -

River Ness itself - usually fished for Atlantic Salmon

River Spey - Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout

Lochindorb - home to the castle of the Wolf of Badenoch - Brown Trout

River Nairn - Salmon and Brown Trout

River Findhorn - Salmon

All are in the area of the Clan Mcintosh. There are many more but
these are probably the best known.

Go west from Inverness and you have even more choices, fishing some of
the wildest places in Scotland, nothing compared to the American wilds
but wild enough

Have a look at my website for a feel of the fishing available to the
west of Inverness.

Also try the Fish Wild link also in my sig.

I hope this helps and you have a great time.
