Maps and Information on
Trout Lochs and Rivers in Central Scotland
The region I have defined as
Central Scotland stretches from Stirling in the south to Inverness and
the Great Glen in the north, the area including the Central Highlands of
Scotland, with its magnificent mountains, heather moors and wooded
glens, its peaty moorland lochs, high corrie lochans and long glacial
lochs offering fine fly fishing for truly wild brown trout, from both
boat and bank. Here we have such famous brown trout fisheries as Loch
Leven and Carron valley, the beautiful lochs of the Trossachs and we
mustn't forget the renowned river trout fishing on the Don, Tay and
Tummel.
The map below shows the main trout fishing
centres in central Scottish mainland, in the highland
counties of Perthshire, Stirlingshire, Aberdeen, Fife,
Argyll and Inverness. Clicking on a red dot will take you to
a page showing detailed maps of each of the main trout
fishing areas in central Scotland with additional
information on the fishing available.

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. See
Ordnance
Survey Maps.
For a comprehensive guide to fishing on the lochs and rivers
of Scotland, I would recommend that you invest in a copy of
Bruce Sandison's excellent book:
Rivers & Lochs of Scotland: The Angler's Complete Guide 2013/14
