Loch Clach Geala
Water managed by Forsinard Flyfishers’ Club
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.
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.
A 4×4 or vehicle with high clearance is required to negotiate the bumpy track.
The loch is a short 1km walk in an easterly direction.
Clach Geala doesn't boast a substantial fish population, and anglers should anticipate more days without catches than productive ones. However, the fish that are caught exhibit exceptional quality, reaching up to 2 pounds, and occasionally larger. Fish can be found throughout the entire loch, but it's advisable to commence fishing from a distance as they may be situated close to the shore.
Wading is deemed safe and feasible in the northern section of the loch, but elsewhere, it's preferable to stay on the bank. The southeast bank, in particular, is characterised by its wet and soft terrain, making it advisable for anglers to wear waders if they choose to fish in this area.
