Coillechat Burn is a modest Scottish stream of approximately 6.4km, flowing through moorland and hill country typical of the Highlands. The burn offers intimate small-stream fishing in often remote surroundings, with rocky pools and runs that hold native brown trout and occasional sea trout in the lower reaches. Best fished during spate conditions when water levels rise, providing dynamic conditions for traditional wet fly or small spinner techniques.
