Hope you find the info useful, I put this on another forum. Apologies but don’t know what Durness or surrounding area is like for fishing.
On the road to Lochinver from Ullapool, there is a good mark for pollack at Rhue lighthouse which is approximately 4–miles out of Ullapool heading north, plenty of car parking and an easy walk to the lighthouse and fishing areas.
Slightly further on there is Ardmair which has a long parking area along the shore, it looks fishy but I don’t know anyone that rates the area for fishing. The rocks on the left as you look out to sea look inviting but I’ve never tried to access.
On arriving at Lochinver, take the single-track road to Clachtoll and you can then turn left approximately 1-mile further on to access Achmelvich.
Achmelvich and Clachtoll beaches are generally very busy during the Summer months unless fishing in the late evening or early morning but small coalfish and pollack can be caught off the rocks.
Stoer beach is just past Clachtoll heading towards Drumbeg can be productive on a rising tide and is safe to fish and easily accessible. Park the car at the cemetery and cross the road, access the machair via the gate and it’s about 100yds to the beach, rocky marks which will then be on your right can be explored with a spinning or a bass rod.
The water looks extremely fishy around Stoer lighthouse but is very dangerous. If you park at the lighthouse and walk to the edge of the cliffs, there is a bay to your left about 0.5mile from the car park that holds pollack and coalfish, but do be careful and pick your days, this area is more for spinning.
An area known as Balchladich which is near Stoer lighthouse has rocks for spinning on your left as you look at sea from the beach.
The beach at Culkein Stoer is very rocky and shallow and beachcasting or spinning will facilitate for a major loss of tackle here, it is also not very productive. Car parking can be difficult but is available if you speak to the locals. If you walk along the track keeping the sea on your right past the pier and the ruined building on your left, then leave the beach/headland and go up hill, you’ll find rocky outcrops as you head to the ‘Old Man of Stoer’ which again hold pollock and coalfish.
Clashnessie, on the road to Drumbeg which is easily accessed, park in the parking bay but this is also a bus turning point, therefore park in the area closest to the village. If you walk with the beach/sea on your left you will come across rocks that provide for pollock and coalfish.
You won’t find many people beachcasting in this area as the locals that fish will spin, most of the good marks are further north and I don’t have much info on them. Just below Kylesku bridge can be enjoyable if the tide is right.
