  • After a couple of years seeking them out, I can safely say I'm happy there's a good population there and that Heldale Loch contains a population of Arctic Char again.
    DNA will now decide whether they were their all along or were re introduced in the early 2000s.
    I'm going to dry out my gear and await the results.
    Thanks for Watching ,
    A massive thanks to the people of Hoy for all their Help.

    Really interesting following this story, the hard work paid off and it’ll be interesting to see the results. We have Loch Mealt on Skye that apparently has arctic char and no trout and is supposed to be quite unique in that respect. I don’t think anyone really fishes it, might have a go next season, and get my arse kicked trying 😆👍

      It shouldn't be long until we hear something back.
      The Doctor running the tests in inversneck comes back off leave on the 19th and is right on it apparently.

    mate thats some m.b.e. worthy stuff youve undertaken with the char, this is what angling should be about on youtube, i they turn up to be wildies, keep up the sterling work as always pal

      Cheers, you did say "keep her lit" 🤣🤣
      I'm not too concerned now to be honest, They're there, and delighted to be there.
      Obviously breeding and having a high old time.
      It's been interesting, it's a wild old place, and no the time of year for spending 2 or 3 nights out in a tent 🥶
      I'm kinda glad it's over 🤔🤣🤣

      They weren't caught on the fly mate, probably don't count 🤔🤣
      I think if they are of the original stock it will be a bigger deal.
      It brightens up the channel a bit, a change from looking at tazzies, seekers and zerlings 😉🤣

    Awesome. I've heard of a loch out Torridon way that has a head of them. Gonna go try my luck some time. Also, going to impose myself on Orkney for some fishing soon. Only ever been up for rugby or to watch bands like Angersay before 😂

      There's a few Lochs in Scotland still that supports them big fella, but they are quite fragile, picky things by all accounts.
      Give me a shout if you're up and I'll tag along for a cast with you 😘

      @@povfishingorkney do they have a different season to the trout? That would be amazing BTW. Maybe not next year as it's pretty busy already but after that I'm all over that.
