Not got much on places to go but Loch Morar is a protected water and you need a permit and then from a boat.

Loch Morar
Brown Trout, Salmon, Sea Trout, Ferox, Char.
Impressive loch (the deepest in Britain) which currently provides great Brown Trout fishing. Occasional Salmon and Sea Trout can be expected. This is mainly a boat fishing loch and permit only.

Permits from:
Mr. V. De Fresnes. Tel. 01687 462388.
Boats available from:
Loch Morar Boat Hire. Tel. 01687 462520.
Morar Hotel. Tel. 01687 462346.

Knoydart. Sublime and as remote as you get.

Did you see our Loch Shiel trip Carl ? Stunning up there mate, Loch Moidart and Ailort are something else.

Morar and Nevis are probably next on the list for me, let us know if you make it up that far.

A bit nearer home and you've got Loch Long or maybe Loch Sween, plenty of pics from our trips if you do a search.

Second shout for Knoydart, or Around Loch Maree would get my vote.

Gruinard is quite good as a starting place too - forgot earlier sorry.

Follow Gruinard River up towards An Teallach - plenty of wilderness up there!
