Lochan a Choire Ghuirm (Green Corrie Lochs)
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.
Mid elevation
Lakes at a higher altitude can take longer to warm up during the season and may not fish well until summer.
Very small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Assynt, Loch an Daimh is a renowned fly fishing destination. At 550m above sea level, the hike to the loch is a challenge, but the rewards are worth it. The average size of the fish in the loch is impressive, and there are even larger specimens to be found!
