The Uig & Hamanavay Estate provides extensive salmon, sea trout and trout fishings on the West Coast of the Isle of Lewis together with shooting and stalking over 50,000 acres in beautiful scenery.

Hamanavay & Red River Systems

The estate has the exclusive fishing rights on the Hamanavay and Red River Systems, both enjoying good runs of sea trout and salmon. With four principal lochs, Craobhaig, Cro Criosdaig, Dibadale and Raonasgail, and two river systems, there is considerable variety available. This includes extensive river fishing (subject to water conditions) consistent loch fishing from boats and estuary fishing at river mouths. The sea trout fishing has been carefully conserved and is of outstanding quality. This is some of the most private and secluded fishing in the British Isles. There is an 8 mile private road which requires the use of a four wheel drive vehicle. The estate applies a strict fly-fishing only policy. The 2007 catch was 175 salmon, 185 sea trout and 644 finnock.
