Fishing Loch Long

Loch long is a sea loch which runs north from the Firth of Clyde to its head at the village of Arrochar. It should be noted if any migratory fish are caught such as Salmon or Sea Trout, it is illegal to land them. They should be immediately returned to the sea. It is not uncommon however to be harangued by do-gooders who may claim that you cannot fish there. This is incorrect. You can fish with bait or with spinners from the shore or on a boat, as long as you return any migratory fish as mentioned above.

There is the usual good fishing you might expect in a sea loch, cod, whiting, plaice, mackerel, skate, wrasse, pollack, spurdog, and many other species.

The Loch provides good fishing from both the shore and from boats.

The nearest accommodation is at Arrocher or Tarbet.
