Loch Aisir
Water managed by Durness and Kinlochbervie Angling Club
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.
Low 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.
Very small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Loch Aisir lies on low ground little more than a kilometre from the sea in Highland. It is a very small water of roughly 3.5 hectares with a plain shoreline and a short circuit of under a kilometre. Generally shallow, the loch averages about 4.5 m in depth and shows moderate alkalinity.
Fishing is straightforward; the fish average 6–8 oz. Access is by a short walk trending north‑east for about half a kilometre, reaching the loch directly.
