Heather Isle Adventures
Helping you make the most of your Hebridean Adventure
Heather Isle Adventures is a small business run by DaveO and Naomi. Our aim is to enhance your holiday experience on the Isle of Lewis. DaveO is an experienced fly angler offering a life time of fishing knowledge to clients. Whether you are a complete novice, wanting to try your first cast in these stunning surroundings, or an experienced angler in pursuit of our famous wild brown trout we have something to offer.
We also offer a rod and equipment hire service if you want to venture out on your own but were unable to bring your own set up. We sell a selection of tried and tested local flies and our own leaders custom made by DaveO specifically tied for Lewis loch and river systems. If fishing is not your thing then you could also hire a bike or paddle board to help you make the most of your trip.
Visit our Outdoors Essentials Honesty Box for other fishing, camping and hiking essentials including DaveO’s Marvellous Mud, our own secret formula to give you the edge when fishing for the wisest old trout.
