Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Punds Water lies close to the coast on Mainland Shetland, a low-lying water set just inland from the sea. It is a small, shallow loch of roughly 26 hectares, with high alkalinity and an average depth of about 3 metres. The shoreline is moderately varied.
A popular loch with local anglers, it has been regularly stocked with sea trout fry by the Shetland Anglers Association, and some good baskets have been taken. There are some good brown trout here, though the average is about 12 ounces.
Access is straightforward: the A970 runs along the east shore. An association boat is available for hire and is kept at the beach at the north end.
