Sea Trout Fishing in Scotland River Ailort and Loch Eilt
|
O.
S. map 40
The River Ailort is a small river, only two and a half miles long,
draining Loch Eilt and entering the sea in Loch Ailort. At one time,
Loch Eilt was reputed to be one of the top Scottish sea trout lochs,
producing in the region of 1000 sea trout in a season. Today, the
sea trout fishing on this lovely loch and river system has, in line
with other sea trout fisheries in the north west of Scotland,
declined to such an extent that it is hardly worth fishing for
migratory fish, although brown trout might still be caught.

Salmon Fishing on the River Ailort and Loch Eilt
This once great sea trout fishery now produces very
few sea trout but is still worth fishing for brown trout.

Please
note that these maps may date back several
decades. Much of the human detail will have
changed but the character of the rivers and
lochs, and the trout and salmon in them,
will be much the same as they have always
been.
In
addition to the information provided here, I
would recommend that anyone planning a
fishing or walking trip in Scotland should
equip themselves with a compass and the
appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most
useful of the O.S. maps for the fisherman is
the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For
each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I
have given the relevant O.S. Map number. See
