Loch na Gainimh
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.
Small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Loch na Gainimh lies in the low ground of the Highland region, less than three kilometres from the coast. It is a small loch of roughly 20 hectares with a shallow profile and moderately developed shoreline featuring several bays and headlands. The water has low alkalinity, typical of these coastal Highland waters.
The approach follows a gentle route of just over three kilometres, tracking northeast across the moor before curving east to reach the southern shore of the loch.
