water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Clubbi Shuns, also known as Maadle Swanki, lies just north-west of Roer Water, with Tonga Water close by to the north. It is a very small, shallow loch of a little over seven hectares, with moderately peaty water and a broken outline.
The loch holds trout averaging 8 to 10 ounces and is worth a cast when fishing through the cluster of waters in this area.
Access is by the moor track north from North Collafirth. Walk to the end of the track and round the north shore of Roer Water.
Fishing permits can be purchased at either the Lerwick Tourist Office or the tackle shop, Rod and Line, which is in Harbour Street in Lerwick. The SAA organises a number of fishing competitions during the season running separate boat and bank leagues and the visiting angler will be made most welcome at these. Details will be supplied with your permit.
You can also buy a permit online from the Association's website.
Boats for hire – The Association has several boats for hire, and at present these are located at the following lochs – Loch of Benston, Loch of Asta, Loch of Northouse, Loch of Clousta, Loch of Tingwall, Sulma Water and Punds Water. These can change, but details of boat locations and hire can be got from the tackle shop.
Clubhouse – The SAA owns an unlicensed clubhouse, situated in Burns Lane in Lerwick, to which the visiting angler is most welcome. Hours of opening are from 8.30pm and 11.00pm on most Tuesdays and Fridays.
