Hi going to spend a weekend up in fort william at the end of the month would like to try a hill loch one day and possibly a local fishery the other any info would be much appreciated

I can recommend loch lundrava which will be practically on your doorstep if you are going to fort william.Take the road uphill at the big roundabout just as you enter fort william and keep going till the road reaches a farm (its where the road ends so you cant go wrong) you get your permit here it was £3 about 5 years ago so expect to pay a pound or two more now.There is also a rainbow fishery a few miles past fort bill on the spean bridge road.

sounds good someone else told me about this loch so must be worth a try many thankx

Was born and raised in Fort William so that does not say much for me! Lundrava was never good when I fished it. Think its hay day was 30 years ago. There is nothing in the hill loch category which is close to the town. There are two fisheries on the road out to Spean Bridge but both a big waist of time and money. Take my advise and go somewhere else for a few days.

sorry all booked up but we would rather fish somewhere where you have to work for it we only fish for sport and return all fish so we really are not interersted in the run of the mill fisheries were all fish have to be killed and stockies are easy to catch rather try something new thanx for local knowledge though hopefully prove you wrong will post catch update next month hopefully speedies flies will do the trick again lol
