Trout Fishing at Lairg, Scotland
Lairg is an excellent trout fishing centre,
situated at the south end of Loch Shin and surrounded by a number of
excellent trout lochs. The Lairg Angling Club manages much of the
fishing and sells permits for the lochs under their control. One or
two excellent hill lochs like Beannach and Graggie... well worth a
visit. The Overscaig hotel, at the north end of Loch Shin, offers
fishing on Lochs Shin and Merkland.
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.
