Glencoe / Loch Leven

[AlexandraRowan]

Hi first proper post bit unsure how to word it or how to use forums properly haha

I'm looking at maybe going up to the Glencoe area for a bit of camping and fishing not sure when or how long yet
Its probably been about 6 years since I've been up that way and I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations about taking a trip up?
I didn't fish the Loch at the time I visited and was wondering if it is worth it?

Thanks
Alex

Red Squirrel camp site in the Glen itself gets a good name, and camp fires are allowed I believe. Sorry cant help with the fishing information. Hope that this is of some help. Stuart.

I stayed at Caolasnacon campsite at the side of Loch Leven last year. It benefits from a breeze that kept the midges down in the day.

I was with some friends who'd never fished before (including me) but we had no problem catching plenty of mackerel. There were some spots where the loch narrows that had access and seemed popular.

I passed the Red Squirrel site after doing Aonach Eagach and it look like a great spot, definitely more bushcrafty.
