water managed by Forsinard Flyfishers’ Club

Duration: 00:48 Distance: 3.79 km Ascent: 29.69m Difficulty: 51 / 100
Low alkalinity Shallow Low shoreline complexity Low elevation Very small

Little is known about the fishing though historically this loch has produced fish up to 3lbs in weight though due to its nature this loch is unlikely to hold a large head of fish. Start fishing well back from the bank as fish may lie close in. Combine with other lochs in the area for an adventurous day out.

A 4×4 or vehicle with high clearance is required to negotiate the bumpy track.
Visiting anglers should carry the relevant OS map and a compass.
