Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Houlls Water lies close to the sea on Mainland Shetland, set among low moorland. It is a very small, shallow loch of roughly 4 hectares, with low alkalinity and a modestly irregular outline. The water sits low in the ground and averages under 4 m in depth.
Fishing can be difficult, but the loch holds trout that average about 12 oz, with fish over 1 lb, and it has been stocked by the Shetland Anglers Association. Access is straightforward from the east: a short 10-minute walk of just under 400 metres, rising by about 50 metres and trending west to reach the water.
