About

A high-clearance vehicle is essential for the bumpy track leading to the Cross Lochs, a cluster of 5 small lochs forming a cross shape.
Four of the lochs out of five contain fish.

The first loch, a brief ten-minute walk in an ENE direction, is shallow and reedy, posing fishing challenges, but records show catches up to 1.5lbs.
Heading SE, Mac is next, known for producing impressive trout up to 6.5lbs.

Further in the same direction is Willy’s, the most productive loch with fish up to 2lbs. Wading is easy, and a boat located on the northerly shore of Willy’s is available for use on Jubilee.

Jubilee is quite a large loch, deep in parts and very fertile. Fish are in the 12/14oz range, but there are much big fish to be caught.
To access Jubilee with the boat, two fit anglers must pull it 20m from Willy’s and return it after use. Waders are recommended for at least one angler, especially on Willy’s where the boat may need to be pulled through shallow water.

Fishing is off-limits (May-July) on Jubilee due to nesting birds.
