Trout Fishing on Loch Leven in Scotland
Located in the county of Kinross, Loch Leven is world renowned for the quality of its brown trout fishing. Once a noted brown trout fishery, with stocks of its superb brown trout exported for stocking waters all over the world, it was artificially stocked in recent years with rainbow trout. Efforts are now being made to concentrate only on the indigenous brown trout and to restore the loch to its former glory as the pre-eminent brown trout water in Scotland. Other lochs in this area of Fife and Kinross include Ballo Reservoir, Holl Reservoir, Loch Gelly, Loch Glow, Loch Fitty, Craigluscar Reservoir and Harperlees Reservoir.

The maps on this website, extracts from the “Half Inch” Bartholomew map series of the mid twentieth century, have been reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew. Viewers should note that these maps date back several decades, to the mid twentieth century in fact. While much of the man-made details such as roads and buildings will have changed over the years, the character of the hills, lochs and rivers, and the trout inhabiting them, will have remained very much the same as they have always been, in the more remote regions at any rate! This website shows detailed maps of the major fishing locations. In addition, however, I would recommend that anglers planning a Scottish fishing or walking trip should be sure to equip themselves with a compass, the appropriate local Ordnance Survey map and a working knowledge of how to use them. The most useful of the O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For Loch Leven area, see O.S. map number 58 and 59.
