Skye's interior is dotted with small hill lochs holding wild brown trout — many never fished from one year to the next. The Cuillin range, the Red Hills, and the moorland between Sligachan and Dunvegan all hold fishable water. These are proper wilderness lochs: you walk to them, fish them alone, and walk out. The trout are small but wild and willing. Some of the higher lochs in the Cuillins also hold Arctic charr. The quality of the experience here is measured in solitude, scenery, and the simple pleasure of wild trout in wild places rather than the size of the catch. Access is generally open under Scotland's right to roam for walking, but fishing permission should still be sought from the relevant estate.
