I spent all the day of the 22th of july in these lochs. I began with Loch na Beine Reidhe in the morning (very big lough, I just caught one 2/3 of a pound trout with a dry Grey Adams), then move over the edge to Loch Dubh Meallan Mhurchaidh (evident walk by clear weather, even if you have to go down and up the small Feith an Leothaid glen), where small fishes were rising everywhere and then to Loch na Faoilege, the most interesting of all, I think. There, I caught around ten trouts, around half a pound, maybe one or two a littlé bigger, all with dry fly and all released. Very secluded place, but compare to many other mountain lochs of Assynt I fished last week, I haven't caught any fish bigger than a pound.
By the way, I'm wondering if there is any fisherman in Assynt?! I've been, in the last seven days, in more than twenty lochs, most of them around two hours of walk from the first car park, and I haven't met ONE fisherman. But lot of deers and, sometimes, very nice trouts... But, alas,the name of these lochs are so unpronouncable for a french man, that I can't remember them... Jérôme D.
