The Morar Hotel is the ideal base for a fishing holiday in the beautiful West Highlands. The hotel is conveniently situated only a short drive from Loch Morar. The Loch is the deepest in Britain and has many small and beautiful islands and sheltered bays to fish in. The fishing on Loch Morar is mainly brown trout fishing, although there are also some good runs of salmon and sea trout that enter the loch via the River Morar, the shortest river in Britain. Arrangements can be made locally for permits and boat hire.
Fishing is permitted from both the bank and from boats.
Whilst most fishing is done on Loch Morar there are endless opportunities for fishing in the area including sea and hill loch fishing. Loch Morar does of course have a famous resident in Morag the monster, cousin of Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. The legend of Morag can be traced right to the time of Saint Columba who it is claimed saw the monster. Over the years people have reported seeing objects ranging from snakelike creatures to the classic three humps above the water. However in recent times there is one which stands out above all others, and what's more it's true.
