About this water

Clach Geala is a highly esteemed loch known for yielding beautiful and resilient fish, averaging between 3/4lb and 1lb. When bank fishing, wading is crucial, as shallow water extends well beyond casting distance, particularly on the very productive south and west banks. From June to September, the large weed beds at the loch's centre provide an abundant habitat for trout. Concentrating efforts around the perimeter of these weed beds can result in exciting sport, though anglers must be vigilant to prevent hooked fish from seeking refuge within the cover.

A 4×4 or a vehicle with high clearance is necessary to navigate the uneven track to the parking spot.

A restricted area is in effect in the southeast half until mid-August.
