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 and Sea Trout 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. |

The maps on this website have been
reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew.
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 Ordnance
Survey Maps |
