Uist 2014
Twelve of us again for 2014. The fishing was hard, not helped by having 3 cloudless days Monday-Wednesday. However, if you were on the right water on the right day, there were fish to be caught.

Party of 12. Fishing was hard and personally cut short. However, a magical spell on Fada with some fresh wee sea trout saved our bacon.
A reduced party of 10 this year. Made perming five lochs from seven nice and easy though! Monday was a bit of a write-off due to 40 mph winds. Tuesday was no better. Friday was very wet – so photos are mostly from Wed/Thurs.
Eighteen again this year. Some good fishing to be had.
Our first trip to South Uist for salmon and sea trout, end of August. Eighteen of us, 7 lochs to try, plus some brownie fishing.
Loch Trealabhal sits at the top of the Laxay River, and is therefore the estate’s main salmon and sea trout loch later in the year. It isn’t so much one loch as many interconnected lochs. The boat was housed on one of these – Loch nam Faoileag. Our day started calm for wild brownies, requiring a bit of dry fly work. When a breeze got up later, the usual stuff worked well.
Photos taken while staying at Soval Lodge, Isle of Lewis. This was a 4-day trip to Lewis with Stan Headley to investigate the potential development of the brown trout fishing on the Soval Estate. Michael Mackenzie was our ghillie on the first 2 days, taking us out in the Argocat to reach the far-flung waters.
Twelve of us this year. Fishing the poorest by far – 9 sea trout and no salmon between us!
