hi all
going to orkney next week and was wondering about float tubing, is it allowed?
i will be staying next to the loch of sabiston, any info on this loch would be great.
cheers

I'm sure I've read elsewhere that you can use float tubes.  However, just to be safe I suggest you visit the Orkney Trout Fishing Association website and use the "Contact Us" button and ask them direct - they'll hopefully confirm you can use your float tube and give you good suggestions about which lochs are best for that purpose.

Nice to see you taken to the tube Brian,when did you take your maiden voyage.Well done .

     Orkney is meant to be a Floattubers haven Orkney Steve is the man for info.

Loch of Sabiston is a small very shallow loch with a head of mainly small brown trout. It is probably too shallow in most places to float tube, its water level was lowered many years ago. Many of the other lochs should fish very well using the float tube, it will allow you easy access to the numerous skerries in lochs like Harray, Hundland and Swannay. Other lochs like Stenness and Boardhouse dont have so much skerries and are probably better covered by boat.

lucky for some.i havent been over there for two years

the lock your staying at when i fished it it was so shallow we never had fins on loads of fish about the 10 inch mark.get yourself onto harry.its shit hot loads of fish normally about the pound.we never found a bad lock.all top class

if you can take a trip to the other island(rousey, sandy,or westry).there worth a cast or two aswell

did i tell you how lucky you are
