Moderate 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.
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.
Weedy loch is a small loch located just above Voshimid. It can be very productive under the right conditions. The loch has a single boat for fishing, which can accommodate two rods. The mouth and head of the loch are home to a large number of fish and can be fished in most weather conditions. The preferred wind direction is south-westerly. Additionally, fish tend to congregate in the pool beneath the dam, making it a very productive spot for fishing.
