Trout Fishing in Scotland Lochinver, Sutherland

Lochinver, a fishing village situated at the mouth of the River Inver on the west coast of Sutherland, is a good centre for a fishing holiday, surrounded as it is by many excellent trout lochs set in the most wild and rugged scenery of the west highlands. Fishing is readily available on the lochs under the jurisdiction of the Assynt Crofters Association and on the one hundred and fifty lochs controlled by the Assynt Angling Group.

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.
