About

Tucked away in the dip of Clashmore, a small loch with mostly small, average trout but worth a few casts.
There is a boat available which makes the loch a much better prospect - especially under the cliff at the eastern edge and around the reed beds.
It can get very reedy, especially later in the season, making it difficult to fish from the bank in some places and conditions.
The boat on this loch is not an ACT boat and is available to those staying at the Clashmore Holiday Cottages - please enquire there about use.
