Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Gluss Water lies close to the west coast of Mainland, Shetland, set among open moorland a short way inland from the sea. It is a small, shallow water of roughly 21 hectares, low-lying and clear, with low alkalinity and a simple, rounded shoreline. The loch has an easy, open feel, the water lying broad to the wind.
Trout here are of good size, averaging about 12 ounces, with fish of more than three pounds recorded, and they can be taken throughout the loch. Access is by a rough hill path, a walk of around 15 minutes, trending east for a little over a kilometre and rising gently to reach the water.
