Migratory run
Salmon run from late June, peaking in July and largely over by the end of August. Sea trout run from June, building to a peak in August and tailing off through September. Spring tides every ~2 weeks bring fresh fish in from the sea to the river mouths.
Next spring tides: 12 Aug – 18 Aug
Sea trout & salmon run Jun–Sep
Castle loch is one of the four salmon and sea trout fisheries that is connected to the sea by the Howmore River.
A gillie is recommended on any of the lochs on the Howmore River system. Local knowledge of lies and a good hand on the oars, to keep you over the fish is essential to success.
Regular trout flies will work but have some muddlers in your box and try fishing one on the point!
