were planning a trip up the way of glascarnoch next month for fishing and stuff... did u do anything like that JYC? any tips for camping or accomodation thats fairly cheap? can only get so much from the tourist books! even if it pisses with rain should be a nice trip, im told some of my family were from that bit. looks amazing if a little desolate!
If you go just beyond Glascarnoch to the next loch up the road on your left heading for Ullapool. A cracking wee loch called Droma. Keep driving to the far end where you'll see a big parking space next to the dam wall.
Cross the dam to the wee forest on the other side and camp in there, you'll get no problems. If you do go up there you'll see a sluice on the other side once you cross the dam. Fish there - it holds some big ones (well 2lb brownies which is big for a highland loch). If you fish the fly just drop a nice bushy dry on the water and let the flow take it out. The fish all hang around here enjoying the oxygenated water and the food that the current brings.
Don't camp in too sheltered a spot to allow the wind to keep the midges down and take a midge net anyway.
Loch Maree last Saturday evening.
