Loch Bad an Sluic
Water managed by Assynt Angling Group
Type
Lake
Species
Brown trout
Low 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.
Moderate 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.
Small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Loch Bad an t-Sluic lies in Assynt, set among low moorland between Suileag and Little Assynt, above Loch Druim Suardalain. It is a small, shallow water of roughly 13 hectares, lying at low elevation with low alkalinity. The shoreline is moderately varied and the loch averages about 5 metres in depth. It holds a good population of wild brown trout, mainly to about 1/2 lb. A boat is available.
Access is either from the south or the north. From the south, follow the track from Loch Druim Suardalain up the hill behind Suileag bothy to the loch. From the north, walk up from Little Assynt via Loch an Leothaid and Loch Crom to reach the water.
