FISHING

Favourite fishing spots are:

Loch Calder

Forming a water supply for Thurso and fed with several springs several different habitats.  Limestone runs under Caithness and as here it outcrops in several places.  The resultant waters are very fertile and trout can feed on a varied diet of nymphs, stonefly and stickleback. Although mainly Trout some Ferox and Artic Char can be caught.

Loch Watten
 
Famous as a trout loch it is a large body of water with limestone bottom.  The water is very clean and clear.  A strain of trout similar to Loch Leven trout are 3/4lb with occasional specimens up to 3lb.  Healthy fish produce a strong fight for the angler.

Dunnet Head

 The lochs are stocked with brown trout by the Dunnet Head Fishing Association.The group of small lochs extends along the headland  including Long loch and Many Loch Chain. No fishing on Loch Burifa. The sea is almost always in view from fishing points on these lochs. Fly fishing only. Fishing season is from 1st May to 1st October. Permits from Dunnet Head Information Centre, Brough, Dunnet.
