Trout Fishing at Pitlochry
Pitlochry is a vibrant, bustling tourist centre in Highland Perthshire, well situated on the A9, offering a host of outdoor activities for the adventurous visitor. Foremost among these is the trout and salmon fishing in local rivers and lochs. Pitlochry Angling Club manages the trout fishing on several local lochs and excellent salmon fishing on the River Tummel below Faskally dam. The main salmon months being in early season March through to June. The River Tummel is also renowned for its trout and grayling fishing. Permits are available to visiting anglers at reasonable rates. Trout lochs in the Pitlochry vicinity include Loch Tummel, Loch Faskally, Loch Derculich, Loch Glassie, Loch Bhach and Loch Kinardochy.

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 Pitlochry, see O.S. map number 42.
