Trout Fishing in Scotland Assynt, Sutherland
|
From Lochinver in the west to Inchnadamph in the
east, Assynt offers a wonderful variety of fishing to the visiting
trout fisherman in an area of outstanding scenery, dominated by the
mountain peaks of Quinag, Canisp, Ben More Assynt and Suilven. Lochs
to suit all tastes, from the large expanse of Loch Assynt itself to
the many smaller lochs, more than one hundred and fifty of them,
available on the Assynt Angling Group permit.

The maps on this website have been

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. |
