Local Attractions
Fishing:
Loch Awe is Scotland's premier 'Wild' fishing loch. The 27 mile long fresh water loch is home to a wide assortment of fish. You can catch char, salmon, pike and trout, both brown and rainbow. Loch Awe held the record for the largest brown trout caught in Britain in the year 2000 with a weight just shy of 32lbs. There is no need to pay for an expensive permit when staying at our hotel, we allow our guests to fish for free on our land. The game season for salmon and trout is from mid March to mid October. Course fishing for perch, roach and pike is all year round.
