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.

Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on North Uist
On the
North Uist lochs, the fishing is by fly only, while spinning and bait are
allowed in many of the sea lochs. In addition to the fishing managed by the
North Uist Estates, fishing permits can also be purchased for the lochs managed
by the North Uist Angling Association.
Fishing permits
can be bought and boats can only be booked through the Club’s official outlet,
Mr and Mrs L Coleman, Clachan Stores. Tel: 01876 580257. Open 9.00am – 6.00pm.
Clachan Stores is situated at the junction of the A867 south of Lochmaddy and
the A865 on the west side of North Uist.

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. |
