Through the 11th of February 'till the 31st of October the Leven provides Salmon and sea-trout, though it is usually the final week in March that delivers the very first decent run of spring Salmon. The Leven gets a run of bigger early Sea Trout throughout April and especially in May.
To stay in the best destination during the correct time whenever seafood simply take a rest because they pass through, is the key to success! Similar pertains to Salmon, the Leven is an extremely quick river at six miles very long. Area of the basis for its success, is the fact that every fish has got to go through the Leven to get towards Loch as well as the spawning streams.

The reduced achieves regarding the Leven tend to be tidal and many anglers like to be about this stretch of the lake from hour after high tide during darkness, to cover fresh fish relocating and out using tide.
