Trout fishing the hill lochs around the Cromarty Firth provides some excellent sport and great exercise. There is very little information available on this very under used resource and we would like to collect more information about the trout stocks of our region. Each loch is unique and contains stocks of fish which have been isolated for 10,000 years. Some lochs contain amazing numbers of small trout, others have very few but large fish and others may also have arctic char. Anglers can help increase our understanding of the fish stocks of the region by recording their catches online at www.anglingdiary.org.uk .
If anglers collect scales from trout they catch we can gain even more information and on growth rates and population structure.
