Trout Fishing in the North of Scotland

Maps and Information on Trout Fishing Lochs in Northern Scotland

The north of Scotland – I have defined this as the whole area north and west of the Great Glen, in the counties of Caithness, Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty and Inverness – is a true fly fisher’s paradise, offering wild brown trout fishing at its very best. There are literally hundreds of lochs to explore, some so remote that the trout inhabiting them will not have seen a fisherman, or a trout fly, in many years. All that you require to reach and fish them is a compass and an Ordnance Survey map, a stout pair of boots, a fly rod and reel and box of flies ….. and maybe a bottle of midgie repellant!
