The North West Highlands is one of the last remaining wilderness areas in the UK, and the Assynt area offers some of the most spectacular scenery and a myriad of lochs holding wild brown trout. There are also two spate rivers, the Inver and Kirkaig, running west to the sea that allow the passage of salmon and sea-trout into some of these lochs. Most of the brown trout fishing in Assynt north of Elphin is controlled by two organisations: the Assynt Crofter’s Trust and the Assynt Angling Group. The Assynt Crofters’ Trust control about 200 lochs north of Lochinver including Loch Crocach, Loch Poll, Loch Drumbeg and Loch Cul Fraioch. Most of the fishing to the south (another 150 or so lochs) is controlled by the Assynt Angling Group, a partnership between the local angling club and a number of estates. This is a large area comprising over 150 lochs, some much larger such as Assynt, Veyatie and Cam, and is divided into 3 fishing zones (West, East & South).
