Water managed by Forsinard Flyfishers’ Club
About this water
Visitors driving along the A897 can find roadside parking near the loch's north end, close to a field gate. It's important not to block the gate to ensure access. The short 50-meter walk from the parking area to the water makes this spot convenient for anglers who might not have access to other more remote lochs within the Club.
The loch offers varied wading conditions. The southern half has a solid bottom, allowing for easier wading. However, in the northern half, the bottom becomes softer, making wading more challenging and requiring extra care.
Anglers are advised to focus on fishing the shallows around Earacha before venturing out into deeper waters. This tactic is especially effective during late evening when low light provides cover for larger fish searching for food near the shallows.
Anglers can expect an average fish size of around 10oz, with the possibility of catching some larger ones weighing over 1lb.
