Trout Fishing Isle of Tiree Scotland GFIM 1019
The brown trout gives wonderful fly fishing sport all over Scotland to both local and visiting anglers. Where trout fishing scores over the salmon is in its lower cost and wider accessibility. Nor is success with trout in Scotland so dependent on increasingly unpredictable river levels. Trout can be caught in river or loch in conditions that might defeat the most diligent and skilful of salmon anglers. That is not to say, of course, that Scottish trout are always easily caught. They can be somewhat dour at times. Unlike the salmon and sea trout, though, the trout do need to feed throughout the year and we can make reasonable judgements on how trout are likely to behave in given circumstances and choose our fishing tackle, flies and tactics accordingly. The Isle of Tiree is the most westerly island of the Inner Hebrides. It is relatively small - about twelve miles long and three miles wide - and very flat. Although the name means 'the land of corn' it has been described variously as 'a raised beach' and 'the land below the waves'. The island has a mild climate with some of the highest levels of sunshine recorded anywhere in the British Isles. It benefits from the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream ensuring that frost is rare and evenings in mid-summer are warm and balmy. GFIM 1019
