Family fishing : Lochs Laoigh (pronounced "Lee") and Loch Lannsaidh ("Lounsy") are close to the town and are both stocked in addition to the natural supply, Loch Lannsaidh with Rainbow as well as Brown trout. Both lochs have car access close to the lochside and have boathouses with picnic facilities.

Salmon & Sea Trout fishing : This is available on Loch Brora approximately half an hour’s drive from Dornoch. Estuary bank fishing with fly or spinning is also available at Loch Fleet around full tides.

Wild Brown Trout fishing : the two lochs , Loch Buidhe ("Booey") and Loch Laggain ("Lagan") are within a half hour’s drive and cars can be taken to the lochside, the boats being within a short walking distance. Good quality brown trout are available on Loch Buidhe with smaller fish on Loch Laggain, both lochs enjoying fine scenery and good sport.

For the more adventurous angler : The lochs Laro and Cracail ("Crackil") require from half to three quarter of an hour’s walk from the car but offer splendid fishing and those willing to make the effort are rewarded with a fine level walk in isolated grandeur.
