Lochan with small island
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.
Very small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
This small lochan lies in the south east of Ruantallain in Argyll and Bute, less than a kilometre from the coast. It is one of three unnamed waters in the area, distinguished by a small island that breaks the surface. The loch covers just over a hectare with a simple, rounded shoreline and clear water of low alkalinity.
The lochan holds brown trout averaging around a pound, with larger fish present. Dry flies fished around the island can prove effective.
