Fished Ruighein for the 1st time (with my dad) on 31st May (2011).
A path similar to the all abilities path has been built which now gives better access to "The Sheiling Loch" and its neighbour "The Loch Of The Barns".
After a 50 odd minute walk to the loch which looked great, we launched the boat. The wind was blowing from the SW putting a nice ripple on the water, and plenty of cloud cover.
We did a drift down the NE bank only catching a couple of small trout as we neared the small rocks sticking out the water towards the loch end.
We positioned the boat further out and drifted into the bay, both catching 1/2 pounders on size 12 sedgehogs.
After a few more drifts, we fished the east bank from the shore. Fishing all the way down to the north bank I hit plenty of fish catching 11 on the sedgehog, Kate Mclaren 12s and Mallard and Claret size 14, Nothing big 4-6 oz.
The wind had picked up by the time we finished and on the way back we caught a couple of small fish from the South bank of "The Barn Loch".
Again the walk back to the car park was around 50 mins.
Lochinvers Tourist Info office has a leaflet showing the new Loch An T-Sabhal Path as well as the Leiter Easaidh Path, its worth a look.
