water managed by Durness and Kinlochbervie Angling Club
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.
Visitor permits are available for anglers who wish to fish the club’s waters without full membership. These permits offer access to well-maintained fishing grounds in a quiet, scenic setting and help support the ongoing conservation and management of the fishery.
Both experienced anglers and newcomers are welcome. By purchasing a permit, visitors are able to enjoy a day’s fishing while contributing to the care and sustainability of the waters.
