About this water

This is a very fishy looking loch but on the day we fished it we only managed two small trout.
The weather being favourable, I'd have expected to have had more action but the other lochs we fished didn't produce much either that weekend.

However, there are fish presents and there are the remains of an old fishing boat so maybe on the right day, it will fish.

Please be aware that this is a natural resource and is still recovering from the effects of acidification. Remember to try and do your bit and return the fish to the water unharmed.
