About this water

Loch Bradan, situated on the headwaters of the River Girvan in the Carrick Forest, extends 2 miles in length and ¾ of a mile in width. It is stocked with brown trout averaging 8 to 12 ounces, though larger fish exceeding 3 pounds are occasionally caught.
There's bank fishing only, with strong winds or even gales, often creates the best fishing conditions, with fish typically taken close to shore, especially in the southwest bay.
