The association have boats on the Storr Lochs and these include a wheelie boat for disabled access. Thay also has access to excellent fishing beats on the Snizort, Lealt, Kilmartin, Ose, Amer, Kilmaluag and Brogaig rivers
The Storr Lochs - Loch leathan and Loch Fada - lie beside the road from Portree to Staffin, about five miles north of Portree.

We also have the fishing in Lochs Connan and Ravag, accessed from the minor road from Portree to Struan, in Bracadale. All the lochs contain brown trout except Loch Mealt, which is unique in Europe, containing Arctic Char and no brown trout.

Boats are available for hire to visitors and are located in the Association's harbour which is accessed from the B855 roadway leading to Dunnet Head. The harbour also has facilities for the disabled angler with a purpose built "Wheelie Boat" available for hire. The loch is also suited to wading and this can prove an effective means of fishing, especially during the early part of the Season when the trout lie close in to the bank. Natural feeding is abundant and the trout grow quickly with several fish in excess of 3 lbs. being caught each year. |
