Dawn on Loch Awe.


And sunset on the Loch.



Just a great place to be and fish.

Once spent a hazy New Year in a Wild Cottage, on the banks of the loch, how does it fish?

Loch Awe. Is that the one with a castle in it or am I confusing it with another as I don't see any reference to one on the map? Like most Scottish lochs I get to see them far too occasionally (once every five years or so) and if I'm lucky take a picture but never allowed the time to fish them. I envy you DaveM and 3lb Grayling to be able to fish these waters surrounded by such awesome scenery.

moody pics , nice light.

Mr Grayling,

This is the loch with a Small Hotel at the Northern end?

West

john,the northern end of the loch(west) is the pass of brander,no hotels. pure north, there is some hotels at lochawe,and at the east of the north of the loch,is dalmally. lots of accommodation. and kilchurn castle.

Hooray, it is the one I was thinking of. I decided to do a quick search of the fishing. Have a look at this site page. www.loch-awe.com/fish/ . Flippin Nora, I wouldn't fancy taking a dip in there with those things swimming round in it not to mention the pike. I can't say trolling ever took my fancy but could you imagine hooking one of those, you'd think the navy had put down a submarine on exercise. Still I'd quite happily settle for catching one of it's great great great great grandfish with those surroundings.

Awe used to be a favourite stop off of a few hours for me before they put the permits on it, now I just drive past.

This is a picture of Kilchurn Castle at the top of the loch.



This is my mate Davie with a 24Lb 9oz pike from up near there.



This is me in 1976 with a 16Lb 8oz brown taken trolling at the Ford end.
