  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 059, 1922
    MORE SUMMER DAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS.—II. BY WILLIAM BARCLAY, L.D.S. III.—BEINN CREACHAN, BEINN ACHALLADER, BEINN A CHUIRN, BEN VANNOCH. BY nine o'clock next morning (21st June, 1921) we were at the east end of Loch Lyon ; and, standing among the straggling pine-trees at Invermearn, this upper Glen Lyon greatly fascinated us, the loneliness, the absolute stillness, the air of solitude and remoteness being very refreshing. On all sides rose steeply sloping hillsides, grass-covered to their summits, and, though we say it perhaps somewhat selfishly, we were glad that the road ended here and that there was no thoroughfare to the west, glad that there are still some spots left undisturbed to the pedestrian. On the way up the glen we were particularly struck with the fine profile of An Grianan (2,500 feet) above Cashlie (this old farmhouse is now being converted into a shooting lodge) on the one hand, and Meall Ghaordie (3,407 feet) and Creag Laoghain (2,663 feet) on the other, while from Invermearn Beinn Heasgarnich (3,530 feet) rose directly opposite in two long ridges, enclosing in their upper fold the fine north- facing corrie. Our thoughts, however, are not of Heasgarnich to-day, though sixteen years have elapsed since we wandered about its broad summit, but of some Theview-poin Cairngormt from which we can look out oveClubr the wild and dreary moor of Rannoch to the towering mountains of the north and west. At the head of Glen Mearn and only a couple of miles away stands Beinn Creachan (3,540 feet) (pro- nounced Ben a Chrachan) visible from base to summit, one small patch of snow still lingering among the rocks More Summer Days on the Mountains.

  • Ferox Trout Feeding Small Brown Trout, Including Young Ferox Feed on Insects and Other Invertebrates
    Ferox Trout Feeding Small brown trout, including young ferox feed on insects and other invertebrates. Ferox, however, becomes clearly distinguishable from other brown trout, when it reaches a length of about 35 cm and begins to feed mostly on other fish. Although ferox do eat smaller brown trout, studies of their stomach contents have revealed a marked preference for Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) which abound in most of the lochs where ferox occur. Ferox trout with Arctic charr. Size and longevity A recaptured ferox trout of 4.53kg (10lb) about to be returned to The growth rings on the scales of ferox show that the Loch Rannoch. switch to a fish diet results in a rapid increase in size. Ferox can grow to over a metre in length and live for many years. The current UK rod caught record stands at Description and status 14.4 kg (31lb 12oz) – a fish from Loch Awe in Argyllshire. Ferox is a widely used term to describe large, predatory In the UK, the oldest recorded ferox trout was 23 years of brown trout living in freshwater highland lochs. Individual age – a fish from Loch Killin in Inverness-shire. ferox differ widely in size, shape, colour and spot patterning. The condition of individual fish is also highly variable and depends on factors such as sex, age, time of year and whether they have spawned previously. In some lochs, ferox can be shown to be genetically distinct from the other brown trout that are present. Indeed, the ferox was once classified as a separate species – Salmo ferox – though this is no longer the case.

  • The Abundance of Large, Piscivorous Ferox Trout (Salmo Trutta) in Loch Rannoch, Scotland
    The abundance of large, piscivorous Ferox Trout (Salmo trutta) in Loch Rannoch, Scotland Alastair Thorne1, Alisdair I. MacDonald1 and Joseph L. Thorley2 1 Freshwater Laboratory, Marine Scotland, Pitlochry, Scotland 2 Poisson Consulting, Nelson, British Columbia, Canada ABSTRACT Background. Ferox Trout are large, long-lived piscivorous Brown Trout (Salmo trutta). Due to their exceptionally large size, Ferox Trout are highly sought after by anglers while their life-history strategy, which includes delayed maturation, multiphasic growth and extended longevity, is of interest to ecological and evolutionary modelers. However, despite their recreational and theoretical importance, little is known about the typical abundance of Ferox Trout. Methods. To rectify this situation a 16 year angling-based mark-recapture study was conducted on Loch Rannoch, which at 19 km2 is one of the largest lakes in the United Kingdom. Results. A hierarchical Bayesian Jolly-Seber analysis of the data suggest that if individual differences in catchability are negligible the population of Ferox Trout in Loch Rannoch in 2009 was approximately 71 fish. The results also suggest that a single, often unaccompanied, highly-experienced angler was able to catch roughly 8% of the available fish on an annual basis. Discussion. It is recommended that anglers adopt a precautionary approach and release all trout with a fork length ≥400 mm caught by trolling in Loch Rannoch. There is an urgent need to assess the status of Ferox Trout in other lakes.
