Ghillies can be arranged by the Estate and are primarily available for brown trout and salmon/sea trout lochs, however there is a limited availability for the remote lochs on the East.

We would recommend the use of a ghillie whilst fishing the South Uist lochs due to the strong winds that blow regularly – a ghillie will master your boat and provide better control of drifts. Windy weather does however yield best fishing results.
Some lochs are heavily weeded although this is important for feeding. These lochs are more productive when fished with a ghillie as they use their knowledge and experience to  navigate around these weeded areas to your advantage. 

Please note – ghillies are paid direct and can be an invaluable asset to you though sharing advice and experience of fishing South Uist lochs
