Fishing in north west Scotland
Game fishing
Salmon, sea trout and brown trout fishing is plentiful in this part of the north west and Sutherland boasts some of the finest wild brown trout fishing in the UK. There are literally hundreds of lochs and rivers in the Kinlochbervie area that hold these hard fighting fish. The fish can average 3/4 to 1lb in weight with a good chance of a 3-4 pounder or giant ferox to get the pulse going with each pull of the fly.
