Lochan na Ceardaich
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.
Little is known about the fishing in this loch which is unlikely to hold a large head of fish but fish up to and over 2lbs have been caught in the past. 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.
