Salmon Fishing in Scotland River Fyne
|
O.S. Map 50
The river Fyne
at one time, as recently as 1989, produced in the region of 250
salmon in a season, despite the severe impoundment of its waters for
the production of Hydro Electric power. Sadly, recent years have
seen a dramatic decline in stocks of migratory fish on the river.

Salmon Fishing on the River Fyne
In recent seasons,
the runs of salmon into the River Fyne have been depleted to such an
extent that the river has been closed to fishing. Many fishermen blame
the presence of fish farms in Loch Fyne for the dramatic collapse in
fish stocks.
For further information, contact the Head Keeper,
Ardkinglass Estate, Cairndow, Argyll.

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 |
