Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Eela Water lies low and close to the coast, a broad sheet of roughly 64 hectares set among low ground near the sea. The loch is generally shallow, with low alkalinity and a shoreline that turns in and out in small bays and points.
The west and south shores are most fished and the brown trout are of good quality, averaging about 8 to 10 ounces. Care is needed when wading as much of the margin is rocky with scattered boulders. The A790 runs round the east and south sides, giving easy access along those shores, and there is boat access via a short track at the south‑west end.
