Fishing Map - General notes
Colour key for Map
Finding the fish
- Sea-trout and salmon generally lie in water
1 - 6 metres deep, but sea-trout will often move around an area in
quite shallow water, so may be encountered close to shore.
- Sea-trout and salmon dislike disturbance, so
avoid engine noise and use oars quietly.
- Salmon often share sea-trout areas, but will
often lie in deeper water, 2.5 - 10 metres. During a spate salmon
will often congregate around burn mouths and be quite ready to take
the fly.
Boating notes
- Check with Ian McDonald or your hotel beforehand
to determine which beats may be fished.
- Travel to and from drifts in the centre of loch,
away from other anglers' drifts.
- Cut engines away from fishing area, especially
if other boats are nearby, and use oars.
- If fishing the South End, remember that motors
are not to be used at all except in case of emergency or (for navigation
only) in the centre of Beat 3.
- See Rules & Regs
for safety rules.
