Policy

Kilchoan Estate has a restocking policy in place which has been running for 5 years. We have been introducing over 40,000 fingerlings or fed fry (depending on availability) to the river, during this period.

There are now good signs of recovery in both Salmon and Sea-trout stocks but we still hold a catch & release policy on the river at present until such time as we think that stocks have recovered enough to turn the fishing into a sustainable commercial enterprise.

Brown Trout fishing is available on Loch Bhraomisaig which is situated at 800 feet above Kilchoan Fank. This loch provides “Brownie” fishing which is second to none in Scotland, if not Britain. A bag of 3 fish per rod / per day is permitted on this water. £10.00 per day.

Other accommodation includes: Kilchoan Farmhouse, Kilchoan Barn, Grieves Cottage & Druim Bothy

Welcome to the Kilchoan Wild Wilderness fishing experience and holiday vacation that dreams
are made of.
Kilchoan Fishing (Knoydart) can offer you a relaxing break away from it all, in a landscape which has been named as Europe’s last great wilderness area.

Our first runs of Sea Trout start in early June with Grilse coming later on in the month and towards the first two weeks of July.
After this period everything is dependent on our rainfall, which can be sometimes regular in this part of the Western Highlands.
The Inverie river will hold fish most of the season but if things go quiet then we head to Loch-an-Dubh-Lochain (Grid:821004 OS33). Here there is always good sport to be had with the Brownies, Charr or whatever has run the river.

The Knoydart peninsula is a paradise of un- questionable beauty, fantastic fishing & abundant wildlife, not forgetting our Hebridean Sea-scape.



Now I’ve not mentioned Loch Brhoamisaig.
This loch lies south of the Inverie river at (Grid: 787974OS33). The fishing on Brhoamisaig doesn’t come easy because the loch is situated 800ft above sea-level. It takes about 1hr 30mins to reach but when you get there, you can put Loch Leven, Loch Arkaig & Quoich well behind!
The scenery around you will leave you in wonderment & the fishing spellbound. (“A Gem within a Crown”)

The Inverie River on the Knoydart Peninsula is fed from Loch an Dubhlochain (Black Loch). It has 16 named pools & flows from East to West towards Loch Nevis, the loch of “Heaven”.

Loch an Dubhlochain is able to be fished from a boat rather than the bank. The Inverie river vacates the loch at the southern end, then meanders 4-5 miles toward the sea. On it’s way towards the sea, it is joined by the Meadall River at the Long Pool. This pool is a favourite by anglers as it is deep & holds fish until there’s enough water to get them up into the loch and eventually spawn.

The “Inverie” as it is known by locals contains salmon, sea-trout & Brownies. The river is shaded occasionally by Alders, Rowan & Holly trees, it can be waded carefully to maximise your coverage of all the pools.

Loch an Dubhlochain also contains Arctic Char and the odd rogue-trout or (Ferrox) Our season begins on the 15th March through to the 6th of October, for trout & salmon. Fly Fishing only unless the river is in spate, where Spinning may be allowed. We endorse barbless hooks be used on the system.
