Landing Ferox on Loch ErichtLanding a "Ferox" on Loch Ericht-just north of Ben Alder Lodge. Probably the Campbell family who lived in Lochend Cottage in the early 1900's. Ferox are a species of brown trout which grow to a large size. Loch Ericht is rightly famed for them. I've seen one caught at the Dalwhinne end - approx. 3 ft long, big girth, large teeth, hooked mouth, dark colours.
