South Uist Loch Guide

From he unique shell sand alkaline machair lochs on the West side to the peaty and acidic moorland hill lochs on the East side. Every loch offers a reward to even the most experienced angler.

The machair lochs are renowned for the quality brown trout and sea trout; some of the best fishing you can experience.

In contrast, the middle and East coast of the Islands have a rugged peaceful beauty of moor and hills leading to sheltered skerries, perfect for wild brown trout; a smaller but sportier fish. The hard won fish in the hills of South Uist are a challenge for even the experienced angler.

The authors John Steele & Norman R. Binnie are the great grandchildren of Thomas MacLellan and Alexander MacCormick respectively who were the ghillies on the Premier Fishing Lochs of South Uist Estate one hundred years ago.

 

We hope this book gives an appropriate angling continuity and is both an enjoyable read and useful reference companion in its own right.
