Scott from USA enjoying a day trout fishing near Fort William today. Changeable weather but settled periods produced sport. . . . . . #troutfishing #fortwilliam #lochfishing #lochfishingscotland #albagamefishing (at Fort William, Scotland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrB4ZZvtSSW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Guests out braving the elements today hunting pike. Unfortunately despite a few runs nothing stuck, but pike fishing can be like that. We guides always feel bad when fish don’t cooperate. The log fire and coffee in the cabin kept everyone warm and thanks to @cuillinrae and @hughhynd for the guiding and hospitality. . . . . #pikefishing #lochfishing #albagamefishing #predatorfishing #deadbaiting #deadbait #scottishborders #winterfishing https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyR-bQt7ZX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another one from the Alba archives. Coldingham Loch is a shallow, nutrient rich, spring-fe loch in Berwickshire, about an hour east of Edinburgh. From the position the photo is taken a few hundred yards beyond the holiday cottage the Berwickshire coastal path meanders along some of the most spectacular clifftop vistas in Scotland and a place of Geological significance, in fact probably one of the top 3 in the world, Siccar Point where Dr James Hutton cemented his theories on Non Conformity and presented his findings on rock formations and the Laws Observable in the Composition, Dissolution and Restoration of Land upon the Globe, to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1785. Back to the loch ii and many of our guides have fished here for over 30 years. It was one of the first lochs in Scotland to introduce rainbow trout to supplement the wild trout stock. At the deepest point of 40ft this offers some thermal protection in the height of summer. It is predominantly a “top of the water” venue with fish taken on dries and emerger patterns. The evening fly hatches are something to behold. Nearest to the camera is the legend and SGAIc qualified guide Steve Culbert. An ex marine, brilliant guide and great bloke. Steve’s had a few health challenges over the last year and we all miss him on the water and lo ok forward to fishing with him in better times. Stay safe, healthy and positive everyone. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . . . . #coldinghamloch #albagamefishing #troutfishing #lochfishing #browntrout #stabbshead #flyfishing #meanwhileinscotland #scotspirit #geology #dryflyfishing #fullingmill #orvisuk #orvisendorsedguides #boathouse (at Coldingham Loch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wYfs0DtK2/?igshid=1qqh9no85u9ql

Is there anything more beautiful than a truly wild Scottish Brown Trout? Over 40 fish caught over 3 days for our guests in partnership with @troutquest fishing a Highland Loch north of Inverness. All fish returned safely. The Orvis Helios 3 a fantastic tool for the job. Top fly was a Loch Ordie. . . . . #troutquest #albagamefishing #wildbrowntrout #lochfishing #lochstylefishing #flyfishing #browntrout #highlands #inverness #orvishelios3 #orvisuk #orvisendorsed https://www.instagram.com/p/Byn6z9wBYIN/?igshid=wr0dqc7ajvm6

Our guide and Orvis Associate @graemeferguson_82 on a day practising on Loch Leven today caught and released this beautiful trout. What makes this remarkable is that the strain of trout “Loch Leven browns” have been exported all over the world. Patagonia, North America, New Zealand to name a few. You can see why. In an age where true wild brown trout in a genetic sense are rare. This is perfection. Caught on a traditional Scottish fly pattern called a Dunkeld. . . . . #orvisuk #orvishelios3 #orvisedinburgh #albagamefishing #lochleven #wildbrowntrout #lochfishing #scotland #browntrout #flyfishing #orvisendorsed (at Loch Leven (Kinross)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxIsKxGj6ux/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11djtod8aqiyt
