salmon & sea trout
Sea trout fishing on South Uist is still one of the best there is with anglers old and new coming to experience what our island shores have to offer.
SOME OF THE BEST FISHING YOU CAN
EXPERIENCE
The machair lochs are renowned for the quality sea trout; some of the best fishing you can experience.
The sea trout lochs of South Uist offer an excellent opportunity to catch salmon as well as sea trout as the Hebridean salmon will readily take a sea trout fly. Salmon and sea trout of up to 10lbs are caught regularly.
Salmon and sea trout run fresh on the tides through out three main systems: Howmore, Kildonan & Bharp.
These fresh water systems are managed carefully, recognising the fragile environment and habitat required for successful spawning.
A fresh run fish from the west coast is as fine a specimen as you are ever likely to see, fish up to 10lbs are not uncommon.
TRULY SPECIAL
Sometimes the fishing can be challenging but the reward from the ariel combat of a sea trout makes the effort more than worthwhile.
There is something truly special about visiting South Uist, the journey, the welcome, the seafood, the beaches, the big sky and some of the freshest air on the planet.
