Trout Fishing in
Orkney, Scotland
The trout lochs on the
mainland of Orkney, lochs such as Harray, Swannay, Boardhouse,
Hundland and Stenness are renowned worldwide for the quality of
their wild brown trout. The good news for the visiting
angler is that all are managed most efficiently by the
Orkney Trout Fishing Association for the benefit of both
local and visiting fishermen, who can fish the lochs and
make use of association facilities for the cost of an
association subscription, currently set at a very affordable
£20.
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.
