view of trout lochs near achiltibuie coigach

The Coigach peninsula with Inverpolly and Assynt to the north is an area peppered with great trout lochs. The fly fishing in this area has a reputation for being something special. Set amongst the iconic hills of the north west highlands these lochs provide some great sport.

Achiltibuie Angling Club manages 7 of these lochs on the Coigach peninsula. There is a good stock of hard fighting wild brown trout in the lochs with fish up to 2lbs to be had.

Some of the lochs are beside the road while the furthest is a walk of about 1.5 miles from a suitable parking place.

Fishing is by fly only with one exception. Details are on the permits page.

The lochs are covered by a Fishery Protection Order, so fishing without a permit is an offence.
