Loch Righ Beag
Water managed by Ruantallain Estate
Type
Lake
Species
Brown trout
Low 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.
Low 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.
Small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Loch Righ Beag is a small freshwater loch of roughly 11 hectares, lying in the low ground, just over a kilometre from the coast. The water is shallow with low alkalinity, and the shoreline shows gentle variation with a few modest bays and headlands. At half a kilometre across at its widest point, the loch sits comfortably in the surrounding landscape.
The loch holds mainly small trout, though the odd surprise may be encountered. There are probably better fish lurking under the weed beds towards the southern end of the loch. A small boat is available at the boathouse, which will take you to the more productive areas.
The southwest corner features a rebuilt boathouse with decking, providing useful shelter when needed. This attractive little loch offers pleasant fishing in peaceful surroundings.
