Default Loch Assynt Area

We are off to Lochinver for a weeks fishing on the 11th September.Will be
after trout primarily but am also interested in the silver tourists,
possibly estuary fishing on the Kirkaig or Inver as the main rivers are
rather pricey i believe, £100 a day plus. Has anyone any ideas?

TIA

Ed

Hi there,

Just back after a week in Achmelvich, just up the road fron Lochinver.
Don't say where you're staying but try calling into the chandlery by the
harbour, they can provide you with all the info you will need and a week's
roving permit. (P.S.There's a briliant fishmongers just up from them - best
fresh smoked haddock I've ever had...)

In Lochinver itself you if you park in the c/p opposite the Spar shop you
can fish the river from the 'Big Rock' down - it's obvious which one it is.

Have to say all the rivers were showing their bones and there was little
movement of the silver tourists. The lochs all seemed well down on their
normal levels, with a great many slowly appearing, to me, swamped by
lillies. Even Loch Assynt itself seemed to be lacking its usual levels.

In fact there seemed to be a general lack of water all over - some little
lochans that I remembered from years ago seemingly disappearing under
vegetetion....

Is this just memory playing tricks or is there evidence of a relative
'drought' even in the Northwest?
