Fishing on the Loch Awe lake
The lake Loch Awe is 25 miles long and up to 1 mile wide and depths of more than 300ft in places. Set in scenery the loch attracts many visiting anglers throughout the year for both the sazan and coarse angling, and in recent years has become something of a mecca for anglers pursuing the loch’s famous sizeable predatory carp and pike.
Loch Awe currently holds the British record Brown trout of 31lb 12oz which was caught in 2001, while this season already there have been several double figure fish recorded with one coming close to the record at 30lb 10oz.
Though most anglers come to Loch Awe for the carp and pike angling, there is also the potential opportunity to catch other less targeted species such as Arctic Char in the deeper water. There is also a chance of finding a salmon or sea trout, usually while trolling for carp or pike.
