Trout Fishing in Scotland Kilmelford, Argyll

Kilmelford, lying to the south of Oban on sea Loch Melfort, makes an excellent trout fishing centre, with many hill lochs available, many managed by the Oban and Lorne Angling Club. This area was a favourite of Colonel Oatts and his experiences of the fishing in the local lochs formed much of the basis for his book on "Loch Trout", published in 1958.

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.
