So you’re looking for an awesome fishing holiday in Scotland, are you? Well, you’re in luck! The dates for the fabulous fly fishing courses and guided fishing trips on Loch Awe have finally been set for the 2010 season.

Where You Will Be Staying

Loch Awe is situated in some of the most stunning scenery in the Scottish Highlands and the impressive Portsonachan Hotel is situated on the east shore of the loch boasting its very own jetty and small harbour.

The Portsonachan Hotel, Loch Awe, Scotland

The Porstonachan’s large conservatory overlooks the loch, where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner or just sip fresh coffee with some home made Scottish shortbread.  The main restaurant overlooks Loch Awe, where you can taste some excellent Scottish fare all sourced from the local producers.

You now have a choice of 6 different months in which our dedicated team will  ensure you enjoy the full Loch fishing experience.

What Fishing Is Available

Fishing will be available on request, subject to availability of rooms and guides. For those of you who would like to fish for Pike on Loch Awe, fishing dates in November can also be arranged.

During these fishing weeks we will be offering courses in:

• Beginners Fly Fishing Courses
• Fishing In A Loch (fly fishing)
• Dapping
• Fly Fishing For Pike

We can also arrange to take you salmon fly fishing on the River Orchy or the River Awe – subject to availability – or to a Hill Loch for the really wild brown trout.

The beginners fly fishing courses will usually be over 3 days, Monday to Wednesday, whilst guiding and other types of fishing will be Wednesday through to Saturday/Sunday. However, this is not written in stone and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements during your stay.

Rod and boat hire will be available at all times, but again it is advisable to book your requirements before you travel.
