Fishing on Loch Leven

Fishing Breaks with Kinross Hotels

Loch Leven is famous for it's brown trout which many anglers consider to be the perfect trout, both for it's graceful form and for it's sporting qualities. The species is classified as Salmo Levenensis and, when found in Loch Leven, is clearly distinguishable on account of its dark colouring and pink flesh.

The quality of the trout owes much to the quality and abundance of food which the loch affords. Over the last 150 years, Loch Leven brown trout have been introduced to waters all over the world. However, when introduced to other waters, Loch Leven brown trout interbreed freely with any other brown trout in the water and rapidly lose their distinguishing characteristics. This change in appearance also occurs even where there are no other species of brown trout present. The only way to see the trout in its true state is at Loch Leven.
