I have persueded the wife to go to Skye for Christmas, which completely coincidentally allows me to fish in a mother-in -law free environment!

Does anyone have any good locations for me to visit so that I don't have to return empty-handed and attempt to explain to 'her indoors' that its not the catching but the taking part that counts!

Cheers

Hi Grouse
Going to Skye next week, any suggestions on where to fish, species bait etc.

 

[Grouse]

im not the most exprienced angler on the go, i used to just spin all the time. only recently started using baits etc but always take two rods and spin anyway! er whereabout in skye are u going? i am only very familiar with the bottom half tbh!

 

[Grouse]

Thanks for getting back, I will be staying at Edinblane near Dunvagen, but will have the car so can travel around. Species wise I suppose I would just be happy to get some fishing in but spinning for pollock would be top of the list.

Get yourself over to Neist Point Lighthouse. Fantastic place for fishing IMHO

i dont really know the top end of teh island. but there is a lovely small village down the bottom called tarskavaig where i have always fished and enjoyed. there is a small area where u can park ur car next to the beach and if you walk to the right ofr ten minutes you will get to the point. best fishing this area 2 hours before high tide to 2 hours after high hide
