The north west highlands of
Scotland once offered the best sea trout fishing in the world. Fishermen
would come from all corners of the globe to drift in an open boat on
wild lochs like Maree, Stack, More, Shiel, Hope and Eilt, or to fish
through the short summer nights on the rivers connecting the lochs to
the sea, just for the chance of a shining sea trout fresh from the
Atlantic. Alas, the sea trout stocks have been decimated in recent
decades, though some fishermen still come, unable to resist the enduring
appeal of the north west highlands, with its once pristine sea lochs,
until very recently unsullied by the hand of industry. It is to be hoped
that the powers that be will realise what has been lost.... before it is
too late. For more information on
the sea trout fishing available on the northern Scottish lochs and
rivers,
