Lang Clodie Loch
water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
About
It’s fair work to Lang Clodie but its a good place to setup basecamp. Sitting in a valley on the sea cliffs it’ll give you cover from any north westerly or southerly winds and a stunning view overlooking the sea.
From here you can explore the maze of lochs that are scattered over this plush trout fishing utopia.
The fish are small in Lang Clodie but are great fun and always willing to chase down your fly like miniature sharks.
I doubt there’s anything over 8oz. We caught a lot of mature small fish and the loch has good spawning. But you never know, there’s always the anomaly.
I had fun fishing it whilst waiting for my fellow campers to complete their morning routines before setting out to explore the other lochs that are “The back of Ronas Hill”.
