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.
