Beautiful trout fishing area by the looks of it. The first one really stands out with the colorful boats nicely tucked away in the left corner.

Well..... there's so many fantastic fishing spots totally spoilt for choice ,Salmon ,sea trout,brown trout,artic char. Some involved long walks and some not so long ..... the surroundings are just sublime

Badanloch Estates

Brian Lyall is the head gamekeeper and i life long friend and a fantastic fly fisherman ,sharp shot also


Oh .... my best trout is 31/2 pound ,it was caught in a wee lochan ,the old head gamekeeper kept telling me there was no trout in it . Guess i proved him wrong lol

Well done! A little research suggests that it wouldn't be a hugely expensive adventure (trans- Atlantic fare aside.) Hmmmm

Salmon fishing is expensive depending on time of year ,trout fishing ,for the quality of fish to be had is relatively inexpensive .
