Migratory run
Salmon run from late June, peaking in July and largely over by the end of August. Sea trout run from June, building to a peak in August and tailing off through September. Spring tides every ~2 weeks bring fresh fish in from the sea to the river mouths.
Spring tides now — through 2 Aug
Sea trout & salmon run Jun–Sep
The Lussa River flows from the southeast slopes of Bienn Bhreac through the Fishing Loch and finally into the sea at Lussa Bay, a journey of three and half miles.
Fish begin to run the river in June, but your best chance is after a spate, stalking salmon with a single handed rod and small doubles.
If the River is low, head for the Fishing Loch, which can fish very well even in high summer.
