Trout Fishing in Scotland Loch Ness, Inverness

In addition to a well known monster, Loch Ness holds many trout of more modest proportions, as do the lochs in the hills above, with excellent trout fishing in lochs such as Loch Ruthven, which are well worth a visit. Loch Ness is  one of the largest of the Scottish lochs, offering salmon fishing as well as trout fishing, with the salmon being taken mainly by trolling.

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.
