in fishing the Gairloch area. He is passionate about angling and

Wester Ross to fish the local lochs. In his contribution to this
book Stan ensures that the visiting angler is well catered for with
clear descriptions of where to fish including grid references, how
to fish including fly patterns and the size of fish to realistically
expect to catch.
Read Stan's introduction to the
book
We wrote 'Fishing in the Gairloch Area' as a guide
to help visiting anglers find their way around the many lochs and
lochans around Gairloch. The region is truly a fishing paradise
for wild brown trout but it is not always clear where to start.
The book attempts to help, describing the location of each loch,
the permit required, where the fish can be found and what can reasonably
be expected to be caught. Beyond this introduction the book is not
prescriptive and it is up to the visiting angler to create a memorable
experience.
