Fishing on Scotland's Canals
The Outdoor Access CodeÂ
Access rights extend to canals, canal towpaths and canal embankments, but the amount of recreational and commercial use and the safety issues arising means that this use has to be managed. Outdoor Access rights do not extend to fishing.Â

The canal and its lochs - Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour - are excellent for salmon and sea trout.
Fishing on the Crinan Canal
The Crinan Canal is well known amongst fisherman as the ideal spot for a bit of fly fishing.
