About Us

The operators of Atholl Sporting are husband and wife team Iain and Katrina Wood.

Iain was formerly chief executive officer of FishPal Ltd and has over 15 years experience in the salmon letting business both as CEO of FishPal and also via FishPal’s subsidiary Tweed Salmon Fishings, which was letting agent for 15 beats on Tweed.

Both Iain and Katrina are keen salmon anglers who fish the length and breadth of the UK enthusiastically (and occasionally successfully), and know what drives anglers to book and they strive to provide anglers with the best fishing opportunities available.

As keen outdoor sportsmen ourselves we know there is nothing worse than being given the wrong advice and having a wasted trip simply because the agent does not understand the nuances of country sport.
