Hi All , SWMBO and I have booked a weeks holiday at Skerray, Sutherland , from 24/6.
I have fished in Orkney , Skye and Oban, but this is a new area for me. I wonder if anybody on here has any basic information as to sea angling in the area. I will be primarily either beach or rock fishing, but really dont have much idea what the area is like, apart from Google earth. I have done quite a bit of internet searching with very little reward, not suprising really as it is a bit out of the way .
Any information at all re baits, lures, species, and any areas, where I can actually reach the sea without a 200 ft climb down and back would be most welcome.
I will have a full complement of gear with me, for beach, rock, spinning, and boat fishing as we are spending the next week on Orkney. I also will have some fly gear with me for Orkney, Big Fish Murtha has already given me some basic ideas, re the Orkney fly fishing.
Any help would be most welcome. I am not after specifics, as I know anglers sometimes dont want to share their prime spots, but general information would be most helpful, plus where not to bother as well as where to go would be good too, as well as bait availability etc.
Thanks in advance.
Dave
