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.
Moderate 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.
Loch Cragach is approximately a 25-minute walk from Morsgail Lodge.
It is a small, shallow loch, which fishes best with a strong westerly wind and after a lot of rain. This loch is easily fished from the bank, but for a more productive day, wading is advised.Fishing for 1 rod for half a day.
