Anybody casted a line in Loch Lee i had a stroll around the loch and over the hills a while back it looks good and has easy access. the fellas fishing that day were saying it has big wild trout and arctic charr.
I hear Arctic charr are very good eating so i am temped to have a go sometime.

I have fished Loch Lee and whilst there are some very large trout, I have caught the normal hill loch sized residents which are good fun, and yes you do get the occasional char whilst fishing for the brownies. All the usual suspects of hill loch traditional patterns will work fine up there, lovely scenic loch but look out for the wind it can funnel down the loch at an alarming rate.

Hope you go next season and have a good time.

Used to walk around it a fair bit when I lived down that way and often saw char topping up the far end on a summers evening. Would have been great fun on a light fly rod.

I believe the char often come to deeply fished flies, often as they come up on a vertical retrieve. A mate who used to fish it a lot before moving away had some big bags of fish (before these more enlightened days) and he would pass some to me for dead baits for the pike. They are awful bonny fish!

I concur with the wind issue. I have been blown off my feet several times in that glen, it can be very scary!

Small point of interest, the glen holds some of the oldest remains of human civilization in Britain, with cultivation and village remains evident.

Presumably they were all blown away  :z7

Aye the fellas i was speaking to said the wind coming down dose ruin the fishing, seems good value tho and you can drive right to the boat house. A fine path up mount keen near by if the fishing is rubbish.
