R J H Sports

The Islands boast numerous salmon and sea trout rivers plus an abundance of wild brown trout lochs. The main salmon run starts from the end of June, and continues throughout the season. The average size of fish regularly caught is round about the seven-pound mark, but fish of double figures are not uncommon on some systems.

Sea trout runs start slightly earlier, and provides excellent sport. Some of the rivers are renowned for producing good sea trout with fish four pounds plus having being caught.

To try and fish all the brown trout lochs on the Islands would possibly take a lifetime, with some lochs being so remote it would be fair to say they probably have never been fished before. Who knows what size of fish are lurking there, just waiting to be caught by the angler who is prepared to venture further afield for their sport?

Brown trout fishing commences March 15th and continues through to the end of the season October 6th. Boats are available on some lochs if required, and it is worth noting that on one or two of the deeper lochs anglers have been surprised to catch Arctic Char, and ferox brown trout of considerable size.
