Press Pack Updated May 2014 About Lochaber Fisheries Trust At Lochaber Fisheries Trust we work with river owners, managers, anglers and government agencies to ensure that Lochaber’s freshwaters are protected and managed sustainably. Our aim is to preserve and restore the region’s aquatic environments and ensure that our fish populations persist for many generations to come. Our work covers the following areas; monitoring & research, habitat restoration, fishery management, education, bio-security, interactions with Aquaculture and consultancy. Lochaber is one of the UK’s most stunning and dramatic landscapes and offers anglers a wide choice of fishing from the 'Queen of Scottish salmon rivers' in the shadow of Britain's highest mountain to the icy waters of the country's deepest loch for trout. Lochaber is unique, for fishing with a sense of the untouched and the wild, Lochaber rewards anglers with superb game, course and sea fishing against a backdrop of the most magnificent scenery. Fishing in Lochaber is available to suit every budget, from £7 per day for trout fishing to around £100 for a day’s salmon fishing. • For salmon fishing the River Lochy is unrivalled on the West Coast of Scotland. • The rivers Aline, Inverie, Nevis and Strontian also offer outstanding salmon and sea trout fishing. • Lochs Arkaig and Morar are ideal for ferox and brownies. • Lochs Arienas, Doilet and Dubh-Lochan have plentiful trout. • Loch Arkaig and the River Lochy are perfect for pike anglers. • The coastline of Lochaber is ideal for sea angling. Established in 1996, the Trust is dedicated to improving and raising awareness of fish populations and freshwater habitats in Lochaber.

Lochaber Eel Survey
Lochaber Eel Survey Final report 2010 Lochaber Fisheries Trust Ltd. Biologists: Diane Baum, Lucy Smith Torlundy Training Centre, Torlundy Fort William PH33 6SW 01397 703728 Funded through grants from Scottish Natural Heritage and Marine Scotland Summary This study is the first systematic survey of eel populations in Lochaber. Electrofishing was used to collect data on eel distribution and density across Lochaber between 2008 and 2010, and this was compared to incidental eel records from historical surveys (1996-2004). We found no evidence for a contraction in the distribution of eels across Lochaber. Eels were recorded in all the catchments surveyed with the exception of Morar. Eels are known to be present in Loch Morar and may simply prefer the loch habitat to tributary burns covered by this survey. Young eels were present on most catchments and estimates of eel age suggest recruitment of young eels has occurred on all but one of the catchments surveyed within the last 4 years. The oldest eel caught was estimated to be at least 28 years old, and could be over 40 years old if growth rates are low on our rivers. Eel densities tended to be higher on rivers entering the west coast (Moidart, Shiel, Inverie) than those draining into upper Loch Linnhe. This could reflect the relative ease of migration of elver to the west coast as opposed to the head of a long sea loch. We found no relationship between eel density or mean eel size and survey site characteristics, altitude and distance form the sea. Overall we found no evidence for a decline in eel distribution or abundance in Lochaber, but potential threats to the region’s eel population are discussed.

Glenuig Ferry Services
Glenuig Ferry Services The collection, (Cameron-Head D271/B/II/3/ii/f ), at The Highland Council Archives in Fort William, has a collection of documents about the Glenuig to Lochailort ferries. The earliest article is dated June 1947. This document is an extraction made from some of the articles seen there. The last entry in this collection is dated to 1962 and the road from Lochailort to Kinacarra opened on 29 July 1966. Raghnall Ailean Domhnallach, who organised and ran the ferry, was born on 15/12/1916 and died 20/7/1971. This is only a summary of some of the articles seen in this collection and not a detailed history of the Glenuig Ferries. The earliest dated document says:- "Ronald Allan Macdonald, Home District, Glenuig. Glasgow Address: c/o Cuthill, 200 Deanston Drive, Shawlands, Glasgow. Father has been a fisherman. Started fishing with father aged 16. Joined a whaling station. With Salvesen, Leith, till 1938. Joined Scots Guards. Discharged summer 1944 on medical grounds.
