Cam Loch

Water managed by Assynt Angling Group

Type
Lake
Species
Arctic charr, Brown trout, and Ferox
Moderate alkalinity
High alkalinity indicates water fertility and can signal the presence of larger trout. Fish in alkaline waters have a wider variety of invertebrates to feed on.
Shallow
The depth of a lake has significant impacts on its ecology. Reduced heat and light in deep lakes inhibit algal growth.
High shoreline complexity
A lake with a high shoreline complexity will have numerous bays, points and peninsulas.
Low elevation
Lakes at a higher altitude can take longer to warm up during the season and may not fish well until summer.
Large
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.

This picturesque loch, located just off the A835 road from Ullapool before the Ledmore Junction, is a fly fisherman's paradise. With an abundance of Brown trout, Char, and Ferox, this loch is teeming with fish of all sizes, from average to large specimens. With easy access, this is the perfect spot for a day of fly fishing.
