Fish for truly wild brown trout, sea trout and the occasional salmon, on the island of South Uist. Stay with your ghillie, Wegg Kimbell, in his comfortable loch side home, situated on the shores of Loch Druidibeg a National Nature Reserve.

Early morning (and last light) is the time on the Machair lochs when the bigger fish come out of the deeper water to feed in the margins on the sand. If you can cope with knock on the door at 4.30 am, hot coffee and scones and then out fishing; you might just come across the brown trout of a lifetime, whilst the rest of the anglers on the island are still in their beds.

The biggest brown last year was a specimen fish of 4.75lb from West Ollay, and there were many landed in the 2.5 - 4lbs range.
