Angling, fishing and game

The warm waters of the Firth of Clyde offer rich pickings for the sea angler. There are many rocky outcrops along the coastline of the area that are easily accessed and give plenty of opportunity for sea fishing for mackerel to conger eels, as do the sheltered piers of Dunoon, Lochgoilhead and Tighnabruaich.

Inland loch fishing

Loch Eck, set amongst the forested hills north of Dunoon, has angling for salmon, trout and powan. It is possible to hire a boat to try a spot of fishing on Loch Eck, Loch Goil and Loch Loskin. Purdies of Argyll in Dunoon provides permits and a fount of local information.

Game stalking in Cowal

Winston Churchill, who runs a business in Dunoon provides venison from the wild, also provides stalking services for stag, hind and roe deer in season.
