LEWIS AND HARRIS
FLY FIShING PARADISE!
wild fish wild places!
The islands of lewis and Harris offer the fly fisherman a dizzying array of fishing opportunities. from wandering the moor in search of wild brown trout, exploring the open coast for silver sea trout or praying for rain to try one of the many little spate rivers for salmon - the choice can quite literally be overwhelming!
ive spent a lifetime exploring these islands searching out the best fishing and the most fun adventures and my pleasure has always been sharing it with friends. now I offer it up to you! come explore this little paradise and find out why its cast its spell over me!
so what are you waiting for?....

what type of fishing is it?
hebridean fishing adventures is all about fly fishing
for salmon sea trout and brown trout on the islands of lewis
and Harris.
there is a huge variety of different fishing available on the island,
from the many and varied lochs, tiny trout streams, sea pools, estuaries, spate rivers and open coastline - there is something
in the hebrides for everyone.
if theres one thing our islands are famous for
then it is the unique loch fishing available,
not least the rare chance to catch
a salmon from a drifted boat.
our motto here is 'fish to the conditions'
and thats what we advocate.
if the rains come and the salmon are running
we hit the spate rivers.
if the rivers are low and no salmon are running
an evening rise for trout might be on the cards or targeting
sea trout in the estuary. if the winds blow and the wave is good
we drift the lochs pulling muddlers to attract salmon and sea trout.
this is what hebridean fishing is all about,
making the most of what we have to offer!
