Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Gossa Water lies inland of the Ayre of Atler, set among low coastal moor. It is a shallow loch of roughly 22 hectares, with low alkalinity and a simple, sweeping shoreline.
Fished in the past for its large runs of sea trout, the loch is now little fished. Brown trout average about 6 ounces, with some larger fish.
The easiest approach is to follow the burn up from the Ayre of Atler; where it forks, turn south-west to the loch. The route climbs steadily west-south-west for about one and a half kilometres, rising by around 60 metres, and reaches the water over open moor.
