Moosa Water
water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Beyond the Innescord Lochs, a small burn runs south-west to Moosa Water, the largest of the group under Saefti Hill. Covering just over 15 hectares, it lies low in the moorland basin, its waters shallow and peaty, with a simple shoreline of less than two kilometres.
The loch holds trout, generally of average size, though fish of better quality are sometimes taken.
Access is by the moorland path from North Roe towards Saefti Hill. From the Innescord Lochs, follow the inlet burn south-west over the rise to reach Moosa Water.
