Enough trout fishing to keep even the most energetic and dedicated of fly fishermen going for several lifetimes, the Scottish Islands are home to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of trout lochs, with a fishing flavour all of their own, from the rich Machair lochs of Uist, to the wild lochs of Lewis and Harris; from the remote lochs of Shetland to the fertile waters of Orkney, most accessible to the visiting trout fisherman for a few pounds, sometimes none at all. A true fishing paradise indeed!
