Loch Clais nan Coinneal
Water managed by Durness and Kinlochbervie Angling Club
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.
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 Clais nan Coinneal lies at low elevation on ground less than a kilometre from the sea in Highland. It is a very small loch of roughly 3.5 hectares, generally shallow with a mean depth around 4.5 metres, low in alkalinity and with a simple outline.
The loch holds trout that average about three to the pound. Bank fishing is easy, and the fish rise to most standard patterns of fly. Access is by a moor track coming in from the west for just over four kilometres, trending north-east to reach the water.
