This is a land of prehistoric monuments, historic harbours, and dramatic scenery brimming with wildlife. Caithness lochs are predominantly alkaline with a limestone underlay. There is rich natural feeding throughout the county notably shrimp, mayfly and sedge and the wild trout will average anything from half a pound to several pounds in weight. In general, traditional patterns are the most commonly used. Many lochs are shallow and some have a soft marl mud base - so always wade with caution.
Boat hire is available on many of our lochs - details from permit outlets.
Please note when using boats that Caithness is a relatively flat, exposed county - take care in high winds.
