Sporting

Fishing
Wild and idyllic in isolation, with over a dozen wild brown trout lochs varying in size. Some of the lochs contain an abundance of small trout, which is ideal for beginners and keeping children interested. The other lochs hold larger fish of over a pound. Due to the locations, to reach some of these, a reasonable level of fitness is required. Boats are situated on Loch Laidon and the Blackwater Reservoir. The 6 mile long Loch Laidon runs from Argyll deep into Perthshire ending at Rannoch Station. Alternatively, the 12 mile Blackwater is reached via a 10 mile land rover track north from Black Corries lodge, a bothy/lunch hut containing a good stove sits on its wildly remote shoreline. Just 1km from the lodge sits a lovely lochan with a boat containing rainbow trout of considerable size. Likewise, a stocked rainbow trout pond sits below the lodge. Within walking distance from the lodge is a small loch with pike in it.

The River Leven offers non-exclusive salmon and sea trout fishing which the estate shares with the Kinlochleven Angling Club where an agreement exists to enable fishing on both banks. A strict catch and release policy exists here. The River Leven is approximately 30 minutes drive from the lodge. The 10 year average is around 40 salmon and 50 sea trout with around 100 sea trout caught in 2012.

Ghillies can be arranged with some notice.

Walked-up grouse shooting
Grouse shooting is solely done over the Estate pointers. A bag of 1-5 brace can be expected. On occasion hill lunches can be taken out by Torridon, our Highland pony with loaded wicker panniers in the traditional manner.

Walked-up snipe shooting is available and is limited to one afternoon weekly during which guests may see a dozen or so. Duck Flighting for up to 6 guns is also available once a week. This is wild sport and therefore bags may vary. Limited ptarmigan shooting available upon request.

Deer stalking
Black Corries is predominantly a hind forest, therefore most of the 35-40 stags shot annually are taken during the October rut, a period of which the owners will retain. However, during the earlier part of the season the estate will be able to offer stalking for one or two stags together with the other sport. Extraction is often by Highland pony.

Activities

Clay pigeon shooting can be arranged on the Estate, providing 4 different stands.

Local activities include; Golf, sea fishing, kayaking, indoor rock and ice climbing and skiing at Glencoe and Aonarch Mhor.
