Loch Righ Mor
Water managed by Ruantallain Estate
Type
Lake
Species
Brown trout
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.
Moderate 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.
Loch Righ Mór is the largest in a stunning chain of lochs scattered across the Ruantallain Estate on the island of Jura. Lying in low ground just over a mile from the coast, this substantial water covers roughly 72 hectares with a moderately complex shoreline of bays and headlands. The loch is generally shallow, with moderate alkalinity suggesting reasonable productivity.
Righ Mór is noted as the biggest of the estate's string of lochs. There is a boat available, though bank fishing can prove the most effective method. Fish are best taken tight to the margins, standing well back from the water's edge.
