Laxo Water
water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
The loch lies to the north of Laxo and is reached by following the right hand branch of the burn northwards for about half a mile and this will bring you to the south end of the loch. It may still see a small run of sea trout but is now populated by mostly small brownies which average about 8 ounces.
