Where the sea-trout are Loch Hope is a six-mile long stretch of fresh water, 15 feet or so above sea-level, and around two miles inland from Sutherland's wild north coast. It's famous for its sea-trout, which can be caught from June to September. The fishing is done by boat, either by dapping or with a wet fly. There are 11 boats on the Loch, with three mooring locations. Fishing can be booked by telephone from April onwards, and before that by post. This site gives information
on current availability, how to book
a boat, and where to stay. It
also contains background information about Loch Hope and its surroundings
- including a fishing map, historical statistics
and a picture
gallery - which we hope you will find interesting.
