Having fished this area for over 30 years I would make the following observations.
a consequence of the publication of Cathel's book is that some of the lochs he describes now attract too many fishermen and perhaps fishermen with a different attitude.
The danger is that the book,this website and associated publicity designed to promote angling tourism may have resulted in damage to the very thing it sought to promote.
I have personally fished over 300 lochs and lochans on Ordnance Survey 15
including all of the lochs in Cathel's book and can assure the reader that there are hundreds more in the area worth fishing where you will never meet another angler,most of them contain trout,and some of them some superb specimens indeed.
You will have to hike far and wide to find them ,as i did ,and when you do discover a hidden gem please keep its location secret
