Applecross and Skye

Hello all

We are going on holiday in May to North West Scotland.

Can anyone recommend any shore fishing marks on the Applecross peninsula and also on the Isle of Skye.(We are spending a week at each)

Thanks

Richard

Hi i used to fish small jetty at Toscaig just down from Applecross.

Plenty Doggies And a few small red cod,and mackerel spinning.

 

BEWARE the dreaded MIDGE

Fishing there can be pretty good from I hear - Midgees are worse than up here in Lewis though.

 

Their open boat competition last year was bit of a dissapointment I hear, and no one was really trying hard apart from the fellow who won it, no idea who it was though ... just going by what I heard.

Hi

I think I might buy a midge head net,just to be safe!

DO------ u wont regret it i promise you.

 

FROM SOMEONE WHO CAMPED OUT THERE and just survived ,honestly woke thinking it was still night with the amount of midges on tent. :mad:

 

Toscaig is a realy nice place to fish if u get awee bit wind to blow midges away

Midges shouldn't be too bad in May should they, or are they arriving/hatching earlier these days?
