Trout Fishing Fort William, Scotland

Fort William lies in the shadow of Ben Nevis at the southern end of the Great Glen. On the road to the Isles, it is one of the larger tourist centres of the western highlands, lying within easy reach of some of the larger highland lochs such as Loch Lochy, Loch Arcaig and Loch Eil, all holding wild trout with the chance that a large ferox trout might catch the trout fisherman unawares.

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.
