About this water

Park by the river at NC143253 and head north across the road. Lots of small fish and can be the start of a walk onto
(which is best fished from a boat) and/or Loch Bad nan Aighean.

It is a short walk and across fairly flat land (a rarity for Assynt!). It can get boggy in places in wet weather but it is an easy and safe loch to get too. It has lots of small fish and easy for children to fish.
