Loch Snizort, Sea inlet on Isle of Skye, Scotland
Loch Snizort extends between the Waternish and Trotternish peninsulas, reaching eight miles in width and containing the scattered Ascrib Islands within its waters.
The inlet has sustained local fishing communities for generations, providing essential maritime routes and resources for settlements along the northern coast of Skye.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in Loch Snizort, regularly catching mackerel, pollock, and ling throughout the changing seasons.
Visitors can access the loch through coastal roads connecting the Trotternish and Waternish peninsulas, with multiple fishing spots available along the shoreline.
The River Snizort feeds into this sea loch, creating a dynamic ecosystem where fresh and salt water meet, supporting various fish species.
