The Western Isles - also known as the Outer Hebrides
The Western Isles of
Scotland can be a
fisherman's dream with it's many lochs and lochans for game anglers
and miles of coastline for the sea angler. Most if not all
rivers contain brown trout and many have excellent runs of
salmon and sea trout. The runs of migratory fish usually start
around mid June through till the end of the season in October.
The Hebridean Islands of Scotland may seem a remote place for a fishing
holiday but they can offer the angler
fantastic fishing in some of the most spectacular scenery in the
United Kingdom. Due to the remoteness of the islands, some of the
rivers and lochs are hardly ever fished, giving you a wide choice of
where and how to fish and what species to target. Fishing holidays on the islands of Scotland
include all the accommodation types that you would expect to find on the mainland. Low budget
holidays for families to five star Scottish Hotels, all ideal for
anglers and families. Bed and Breakfast, Guest Houses or individual holiday
apartments, perfect for fishing holidays in Scotland.
You will find that numerous Scottish Island bed
and breakfast, guest houses and self catering accommodation also
have the rights to private fishing.
Fishing on the Islands of Scotland predominantly consists of game fishing
for the wild Atlantic Salmon, trout and sea trout fishing. Guided
fly fishing is available on some of the Islands of Scotland and a
guided fishing trip can prove very beneficial as the guide will have
all the local knowledge of where to fish, when to fish and what
tactics to use needed to catch the fish.
Top sea angling sport can be had from rocky shores or beaches and
boat fishing trips are available for sea anglers and can often be
booked with skippers of charter boats moored in the local harbours.
Fishing boats are usually fully equipped with rods and tackle and
all you need to take is the bait.
Two of the well known islands in the Hebrides are
the isles of Lewis and Harris. These are not actually two separate
islands but two parts of the same island. Lewis is to the north
and is the largest island in the group and Stornoway,
a thriving fishing port with its natural harbour is the main town.
Other islands included in the group making up the Western Isles are
:
North Uist, South Uist, Benbecula, Barra . . . . |
