The River Glass forms the upper part of the River Beauly system which flows into the Beauly firth just North of Inverness.

The River Glass is a hydro controlled river, and although river levels may vary from day to day, there is always sufficient water for productive fishing.

The beat opens in July to coincide with main grilse run in July and August, which is supplemented by later running fish moving up from the lower river in September and October.

The Balmore beat is located in Strathglass, a little to the east of Cannich and extends to some 1.25 miles of the left (West) bank of the river, and includes 9 named pools of lovely fly water with a combination of wading and bank fishing. A new fishing hut was installed at the Road Pool in 2010 to complement the smaller existing hut at the Pot Pool, the midway point of the beat and many bank improvements have been carried out in recent years. 78 fish were caught in the 2010 season between the 15th of July and 15th of October with over 90% returned. This is an opportunity to secure a tenancy on a lovely accessible beat at a prime time and rods are available on a daily or weekly basis.
