Random question, but has anyone ever heard of anyone fishing Loch Leathan or Loch Awe near the town of Barmolloch above Lochgilphead in the West of Scotland?

(PS - Not to be confused with Loch Leathan on the Isle of Skye!!)

I fished loch awe earlyer on this year have a look here.

****, those Awe trout are MASSIVE I didn't know brownies could ever grow that big.

It's really the wee Loch Leathan I'm wondering about, there is a farm on the banks of it that we are interested in and obviously I would like to scope out the fishing potential

Hi', Scrob, they go bigger than that.
A couple of years ago, a Sunday I believe, I had a call from a friend on his mobile, and I could hear water lapping in the background. It was a lad called Dave Greenwood, a Preston lad who fishes occasionally on Ullswater, our nearest lake.
''We're on Loch Awe, and we've just broken the British record for wild brown trout at 31 1/2lbs.'' Dave was the skipper in his 17ft Angler's Fancy boat, and the lad who caught the monster was a local Cumbrian called, appropriately, Brian Rutland. As is often the case, shortly afterwards another couple of really big fish were caught on the loch. I think they weighed 29 and 30 lb-ish.
Dave used down-rigger gear for his trolling -- and the kit was bought on a trip to the 'States quite a while back. Dave has had trout from Derwentwater over 8lbs and pike of over 17lbs that I know of. Cheers TC

Wow that is a BRUTE! I really didn't know brown trout existed up to that size, I'd be more than happy with one of a couple of pounds

Still nobody to fish the elusive Leathan then? It is quite a small loch/lake in the countryside, up a mountain near Barmolloch.
