Trout Fishing in Scotland Tongue, Sutherland

The village of Tongue lies on the Kyle of Tongue on the north coast. The local angling club has fishing on a number of excellent trout lochs and on the Kyle of Tongue, which can provide some good sea trout fishing. Permits are available to visitors at very reasonable rates for all the club fishing, which includes Lochs Loyal, Craggie, Hakel (Hacoln) and Chormaic.

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.
