Trout Fishing at Halkirk,
Scotland
Halkirk lies to the south of
Thurso in northern Caithness, just about as far north as you
can get on the Scottish mainland, and is an excellent centre
from which the trout fisherman can explore the superb loch
fishing of Caithness, on famous trout lochs like Watten,
Calder, Heilen and St John's. Trout fly fishing at its very
best.
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.
