Loch Brecbowie
Water managed by Galloway Forest Park
Type
Lake
Species
Brown trout
Low 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.
Mid 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.
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.
