Fionn Loch
Water managed by Assynt Angling Group
Type
Lake
Species
Brown trout
Moderate alkalinity
High alkalinity indicates water fertility and can signal the presence of larger trout. Fish in alkaline waters have a wider variety of invertebrates to feed on.
Shallow
The depth of a lake has significant impacts on its ecology. Reduced heat and light in deep lakes inhibit algal growth.
High shoreline complexity
A lake with a high shoreline complexity will have numerous bays, points and peninsulas.
Low elevation
Lakes at a higher altitude can take longer to warm up during the season and may not fish well until summer.
Large
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
This 3.5km long loch is nestled in the breathtaking scenery of Suilven and the River Kirkaig, and is home to an abundance of brown trout with succulent pink flesh and arctic char. Anglers can expect to catch good numbers of larger than average trout, with a few true monsters thrown in each season. Fly fishing here is a truly unforgettable experience!
