Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Loch of Lunnister lies east of the A970 between Brae and Isbister, on low ground close to the sea. It is a small, shallow water of roughly 17 hectares, averaging a little over 3 metres in depth, with low-alkalinity water and a gently varied margin.
Among the nearby lochs it holds the best trout; fish average 8–10 oz, with the odd trout over 2 lb. There is a chance of sea trout after August, and the loch has been stocked with sea trout. Wading is good for most of the shore, though weed growth increases as the season advances.
Access is straightforward: leave the A970 on the Brae–Isbister section and follow the minor road east to Lunnister; the loch lies to the west of the road.
