Hi,

As a river fisher I have limited experience of fishing the lochs. A friend is desperate to try some loch fishing for 'good brownies and sea trout', and is equally desperate that this be performed from his new fishing boat.

He is keen to try loch Damph, or Assynt in mid September.

Would I be correct in thinking that this is a little late in the season?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance, and apologies if this would be better placed under a different section, but I did think I may get more replies here.

Thanks

(still) Fenton.

PS I still cant access my old account following the change over!
Cheers

Scratch and myself had a jaunt up to Assynt a coupla Septembers ago and the fishing seemed fine to me......even if the days weren't as long as we would have liked! No midgies either.....

It's a magical place and I can't wait to get back sometime.

Thanks for the reply. Presumably more broons than sea trout?
cheers

No sea trout - we were brownie bashing on the remote lochans around the base of Suilven....

Hi', S/F. A friend went up to the Mull Of Kintyre last September. I wasn't keen, as I felt a lot of the hen fish would be heavy with spawn; but he had a really good week among the loch trout and with sea trout. TC

Out of interest, can any of you Assynt experts / locals suggest the right size of Wyatt-esque Deer Hair Sedges to tie up for a September trip to these parts? (yes, I may be thereabouts too, work permitting)

Lots of talk in his books and articles about the theory, but I could see everything from size 10 down to size 16 maybe being right... or not. Or have I just answered my own question?

Thanks all!

Theo
