Can I fish in Loch Ness?
Yes, you can fish in Loch Ness! When you visit this part of Scotland, you are sure to want to throw a line into Loch Ness. Whilst some may dream of catching Nessie (if your rod is big enough!) there’s a better chance of catching slightly smaller fish. These include ferox, brown and sea trout as well as the Atlantic salmon. A permit is required to fish this loch. Call Grahams of Inverness for further information on permits.
Bank fishing for brown trout on Loch Ness is free. This is on the condition that you are only using light tackle, stay away from the mouths of any rivers and have the landowner’s permission. For those looking forward to boat fishing, be aware that ‘water bailiffs’ may ask to see your permit.
The easiest way to ensure you have all necessary permissions and get to the best spots quickly is through a fishing company. Try Fish Loch Ness or Loch Ness Fishing Trips. With a dedicated guide, you can be sure that whatever the weather, they will take you to the best place to ensure a high chance of catching the fish you are after.
