The annual Wildside Scotland trips in 2024 came and went in a flash. Sitting here ,in front of my computer in Vienna, the memories of wild winds, rain showers, blistering sunshine and still evenings seem like they were literally a few days ago. Big trout came thick and fast as we experienced some amazing dry fly action in the hills and at Durness. Stay tuned for new films once I have had the time to deal with all of the footage! A photo gallery is viewable in the Gallery menu or by clicking here. 

Some simply amazing fishing was enjoyed by both groups in August 2023. The weather was not always in our favour but the trout still chose to pop by now and again to keep us always on our toes. Some days saw lots of small trout, some days saw only a handful of huge fish, some days saw us scurrying back to the shelter of our house or the tents and some days saw us pinching ourselves to make sure the weather had not been artificially placed upon us by the Gods of good fortune. The photos can be found on this link and the film material will be posted soon once it finally gets past the processing stage! Let's hope that 2024 brings more of the same magic with it!

Our latest video is out and gives you a small peak at what a week in the hills armed with a rod, reel, tent and rucksack looks like. Sadly my gopro decided not to "go" when Erhard landed the best trout of the week but the photo tells the tale quite aptly. Super memories and a whole lot of fun in total isolation. Wild fishing at its best!

 Erhard Löffler, with an absolute cracker from this summer, 2017. A wild week of camping up in the hills gave him a trip of a lifetime. More to follow in the gallery updates soon!

What a summer we had up in Durness. Trout to the near magical 60cm mark and many more over the 3lb barrier. Many happy faces and full memories were had this summer! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO!
