Salmon enter the Loch from early May with the best chance of catching one from June onwards to the of the season. Most fish are caught by trolling although those pursuing salmon by cast fly do get fish - persistance pays. The main run of Salmon enters the Loch mid June/July and given rain there are runs of "new" fish throughout the season as salmon move upstream through the prolific Grimersta system. Brown Trout fishing on the loch can be superb throughout the season with catches of 70 trout/boat/day not uncommon. Although the average weight is just 10/11 oz fish to 4/5 lbs are landed most seasons. Stornoway Angling Association has two boats on the loch, that are kept in a purpose built boathouse. Access is by foot along the Scaliscro/Morsgail boundary(approx. 50mins) to Loch Coirigerod. The engines (and lifejackets/oars)are kept in lockers beside the ferry boats. Fuel must be carried to and from the loch. The journey down Loch Coirigerod takes approximately 20 minutess then is followed by a 5 minute walk to the boats and boathouse on Loch Langavat.
