Trout Fishing Lochs at Aultbea
Aultbea, situated on the eastern shore of Loch Ewe, north of Poolewe and south of Laide on Gruinard bay, is a convenient location from which to explore the numerous wild trout lochs in the area. The trout fisherman willing to stretch his legs is likely to be well rewarded with fine trout fishing on lochs which may not have seen another fisherman in months, maybe years.
To the north lie the lochs of the Rubha Mor peninsula – Loch nan Clachan Geala, Loch a’ Choire, Loch a Bhaid Ainich, Loch an t-Slagain, Loch na Beiste, with many more trout-filled lochs, such as Loch Fionn, Loch Fada, Loch Bhaid Luachraich (the Goose Loch), Loch na Ba and many more lochs of all sizes to the south and east. A beautiful part of Wester Ross with plenty trout fishing to keep even the keenest of anglers fully occupied for many a season.

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 Aultbea, see O.S. map number 19.
