Salmon Fishing in Scotland North Uist
|
O.S. Map 18, 22
Nearly all the fishing on North Uist is owned by the
North Uist Estates Ltd., Lochmaddy, North Uist. The lochs of the
estate can be fished by guests of the Lochmaddy Hotel. Around 150
lochs are available, some containing salmon and sea trout, and there
is also excellent fishing on many sea pools, tidal waters which
produce not only sea trout but also salmon.

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. |
