Is Brigadoon catch and release only?
Definitely! Every possible precaution is taken to protect and preserve these magnificent trout. We are strictly fly-fishing, catch and release only. No droppers allowed.

What weight rod do you recommend?
A five weight is just about perfect. Most use an 8'6" (or 9" for more the more experienced angler) with a five weight forward floating line.

What flies both wet and dry work best at Brigadoon? And when?
In the spring and fall the dry action is terrific! There are some spectacular mayfly hatches so parachute adams, cahill, and caddis have been very successful. Smaller flies work well too. (Size 12 - 16) Later in the season nymphs, woolly buggers, pheasant tails. We recommend that you speak with your guide a few days prior to your visit for the latest hatch information.

Do you have a fly shop on the premises?
Yes. Brigadoon Fly Shop has a number of custom rods and reels and a full selection of premium hand tied flies. In addition we carry a full line of Brigadoon gear - hats shirts, vests anything the well-outfitted angler needs!

Do you rent equipment and waders? If so, what are the rates?
Yes. Equipment can be rented from the Fly Shop. This is very convenient for guests who are traveling without their gear or beginners who might not have equipment. Rates are: $50.00 per session for a full outfit including rod, waders and boots;$25.00 for the rod only.

What is the best time of year for fishing?
All seasons offer exceptional fishing opportunities, but Spring (April-June) and Fall (September-November) are considered our “high” season. Discounts are offered for our "off season" months.

Must you stay overnight to fish Brigadoon?
No. Day only fishing is available year round. We recommend staying overnight for the full experience but do not require it.

Do you recommend a guide?
Guides are optional - but recommended. We have two levels of guide services available. Professional guides, at $150.00, provide all the leader, flies, and tippit and are all qualified instructors. "Ghillies" or net boys are available to our guests at $100.00.

Are meals provided?
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all options of your Brigadoon package. Meals: Continental breakfast - 20.00 per head. Includes, muffins, fruit, cereal, milk, OJ, coffee etc...

Buffet lunch - 25.00 per head. Either hot BBQ or cold salad/sandwich.

Cabin Dining - Both the large cabin, Cragganmore and the small cabin have kitchens and grills. Chef and catering packages are available. Prices vary according to menu. Please inquire with Kay in Guest Services for prices and menus. Our chefs can prepare (almost) any menu you want!

What are fishing guests expected to bring?
Shorts or seasonal gear is all that is recommended. Even summer nights can be cool so do bring a sweater. The guide and rental equipment packages can take care of the rest.
