The Lingerbay Fishery system is less than 2 miles from Rodel set in the rugged landscape of the east coast of the Isle of Harris with fantastic views across the Minch to Skye. Lingerbay system consists of three freshwater lochs, Loch na Criadhach, Loch a’Choire and Loch Alatair, a sea loch, An Carrie and connecting rivers. Salmon, Sea Trout and quality Brown Trout fishing.
The Brown Trout Loch system is located between Rodel and Lingerbay and is known as Lochan An Uamh. The quality of the natural brown trout on these Lochs is next to none with fish weighing up to three pounds quite common. Again this is a fly and spinning fishery with the Mepps spinner proving to be the most successful.
The fishery is ideal for novices and children.
