About this water

Loch na Craobhaig is the main loch for fishing in Uig and Hamanavay. It is also the headwaters for the Hamanavay River. To access the lake, you need to walk about a mile from the house at Hamanavay.
The lake offers several shorelines to drift for sea trout, and there are several named points to fish for salmon.
The loch is ideal for fishing in any wind direction.
Additionally, there is a comfortable hut where you can sit and enjoy your lunch or take shelter from a passing squall.
There are two boats available, each accommodating two rods.
