Loch Key
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.
Moderate 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 na Claise Luachraich or Key Loch is a very small loch of roughly 8 hectares, lying in the low ground near the Highland coast. The water is shallow with moderate depth, and the shoreline shows moderate complexity with several bays and indentations along its perimeter of nearly two kilometres. Set at low altitude, the loch sits just a few hundred metres from the sea.

The moderate alkalinity suggests reasonably productive water, though no specific fishing information is available for this loch.
