Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Owned by the SAA, this is one of Shetland’s premier lochs and many large trout have been taken from this water over the years. They average more than a pound and fish of over 6 pounds have been caught.
Wading is safe in most areas and the loch is well suited to boat fishing.
There is a parking area at the north east corner of the loch where the Association hire boat is kept. The loch becomes weedy as the season progresses. There is a size limit of 12 inches and all fish under this size should be returned safely to the water.
Loch of Benston is strictly fly fishing only.
