Introduction

FISHING AND HOLIDAYING IN THE AREA
Have you ever dreamt of wandering freely with rod in hand through mountains and wilderness landscape surrounded by only trout filled lochs and streams and the eagles that fly above?

Dream no more - Welcome to Assynt in the North-west Highlands of Scotland.

Assynt is a vast area of pristine lochs and streams in the North-west Highlands of Scotland, bristling with wild brown trout. Lochs as far as the eye can see, many of which are untouched from year to year harbouring big populations of ferocious fighting wild trout.
Set amidst a truly awe-inspiring landscape of mountains and wilderness terrain, the scale of the area, quality of its wild trout and undisturbed isolation are amazing and provide today’s wild trout fly fisher with opportunities, that for most of us, only dreams are made of!
Whether you want to drift loch-style in a boat using traditional wet fly, delicately present small dries to hungry cruising fish, carefully stalk the loch margins with nymphs or corixa or hunt specimen trout from a float tube, you’ll be amazed at the scale of opportunity you will find here in Assynt.
But don’t just come yourself, bring the family as well as there’s loads of exciting and adventurous things to get up to for them too! Find out more HERE
For the really adventurous angler, there are lochs here which haven't been fished in years, if at all. These normally involve a good walk in, so camping is usually necessary if you're planning a full day's fishing. If doing so, please respect some basic rules: Take your litter home with you.
If lighting campfires, do so only on shingly beaches as far from vegetation as possible. Take particular care in dry and breezy weather.

And when the day is done there are some fantastic places to go and eat including the highly acclaimed and Multi Award Winning Albannach Hotel & Restaurant. More information on where to eat.
