Fishing in Scotland. Fisheries and fishing on the West Coast

The west coast of Scotland is a made up of deep sea lochs, montains, interconnecting rivers and inland lochs. Fishing is to be found on a host of short spate rivers such as the Croe, Moidart and lochy. Rainfall in the west is much higher so you have to be in the right place at the right time.

You will also find Loch Awe in this region. The Awe is famous for its monster brown trout and today is a favourite spot for rainbow trout fishing.
