Looking for Trout fishing near Inverness? This stunning shallow clear loch is one of the best wild brown trout fishing lochs in Scotland. Although this loch is large at 205 ha, it is extremely shallow, clear and rich in feeding for the native fish. Moreover its depth averages around 6-8ft, and the fish are always looking up. Therefore, its is a great loch to fish surface or sub surface flies and dries.
Furthermore, Fishing is fly only from a drifting boat which is sturdy enough to take two anglers and a fishing guide. Also, the wild brown trout in this loch are free rising, plentiful and mostly caught on surface dry flies.
Subsequently, this loch offer the best trout fishing near Inverness and produces some of the most attractively marked wild brown trout in Scotland.

In addition, your fishing guides are highly experienced in the art of fly fishing from a drifting boat. In fact, if you have never tried the Scottish fishing techniques of drifting in a boat fishing a team of flies, then this is an experience in Scotland not to be missed. The boat is set up to drift side on to the wind, and therefore two anglers can easily fish, along with a guide controlling the drift.
Because your boat is constantly drifting, the technique is to keep casting the flies a short distance in front of the boat. Consequently, you will cover a lot of water and fish this way. Equally stealth is a key factor of success, so sitting quietly in the boat, gently drifting towards fish is highly effective.

Firstly, depending on your location, we can pick up and drop off from your hotel or fishing lodge by your fishing guide. The best location to seek accommodation would be in the Tain area. We then drive through some scenic landscapes to arrive at the loch-side, where your boat awaits. Also it’s possible to pick guests up in Inverness.
