I'm heading for fort William on Monday with work for 3 weeks and I'm taking my gear with me.

Does anybody have any info as to where to go fishing up there.. what baits to take ??
And And what species am I likely to find up there

Thanks
 
As .your heading to Fw about 3 mile past the CORAN ferry theres a picnic area that fishes quite well .the big car park as you enter FW on the left. theirs no tackle shop in FW it closed couple of years ago so take extra stuff with you.Your not far of loch Sunnet ,also Loch Etive at the quarry that would be my choice,bait wise all you need is fish baits and squid hope this helps.
 
2nd what Mutus said about the car park after Corran, seems deepish at HW. You can fish from the car park on your left at the roundabout in FW or you can go off the end at Corpach, at the end of the Caledonian Canal.
Squid & macky from Morrisons or dig for lug if/when you see worm casts.

Loch Sunart & Etive are a good way from Ft Will though.

Hope you have a great time in Bonnie Scotland David. You can look at post on WSF without being a member. Doggies and rays will probably be the fish at this time of year. Long stay car park seems popular. Take some frozen Macky if possible as, you may struggle to get any bait up there. Maybe pop into GAC on the way. If you are in Glasgow, give me a shout.

Often in Glasgow mark got a job on the airport some time in a couple of months...
I'll be taking plenty of bait up wits me but like I say I will be working so fishing is only for the evenings unless we have a sneaky day off 😉😉😉
 
Ah right David. Next time you are at the airport, give me a shout. Work Sun to Thurs evenings inc. so only free Fri/Sat evenings(if Lynn lets me out!).
