The British record Wild Brown Trout (below) was caught here in 1996 and weighed 25lbs 5¾ozs and in 1997 the heaviest was over 19lbs. Coarse FishingLoch Awe offers quality coarse fishing with several species available to the angler including Perch, Eels and Roach. However, most coarse anglers who visit this area are interested in the capture of one of the loch's legendary pike. Pike fishing on Loch Awe can be stupendous, especially during the summer when hard fighting, tail-walking, predators respond eagerly to lures and dead baits. Loch AvichA Loch Awe permit also allows fishing on Loch Avich, Loch Awe's smaller sister. This 6 mile stretch of beautiful water begins to fish at least a month later than Loch Awe and contains Brown Trout only, in May '97 a Brown Trout of 7lbs 5ozs was taken on a fly. |

The Awe Fisheries Trust is a charity whose objectives are to conserve and enhance the native freshwater fish stocks in and around Loch Awe. Although now drawing on funds from a number of sources, the work of the Trust is heavily dependent upon contributions from the L.A.I.A. The Trust employs a biologist whose role is to conduct relevant research and monitoring in order to protect and maximise the existing fishery.
