...as Pte Fraser would say. My fishing pal John and I tried a long weekend's exploration last month. We used the Tomdoun Hotel as our base (lies on the River Garry, the one on the other side of the Great Glen). Good accommodation and superb food. The 2 main lochs in the area are Quoich and Garry. Both are noted for ferox trout and Garry also for pike. However, we only went after the 'normal' trout. We got the impression the River Garry is the main fishing in the area, and our visit fell between 2 stools, as it fishes best April and then again in September. Cracking looking bit of water, though - it kind of goes lochan, channel, river, lochan, channel, river... all the way down.
We ran into a guy who has his own boat that he garages at the hotel, and he comes up from south whenever he can and just trolls Garry for ferox. He certainly had plenty photographic evidence of his successes.
Anyroadup, I put together a page of photos and associated drivel on our exploits...
