Water managed by Shetland Anglers Association
Loch of Collaster holds excellent brown trout, typically averaging 10oz but with the chance of fish over 2lb, though weed can become troublesome later in the season.
The trout are not easily taken, so persistence is required, with the best prospects from the bank near the inlet burn in the northwest corner and at the loch’s outflow into Kirkhouse Water.
An August evening visit produced two small trout while fishing from the outlet burn along the western shore, stopping about halfway round. On that occasion the loch, like nearby Kirkhouse Water, appeared inactive, suggesting that both waters may require several visits to assess their full potential.
