Loch Losguinn Fishing in Argyll and Bute, Scotland

• Overview

  Set in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, this is Loch Losguinn. Tidal water begins 1.6 miles from here. At roughly 7 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Ardrishaig is the closest town at 17 miles. Glasgow sits 63 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No area boundary comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Loch Losguinn

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Argyll and Bute: brown trout, European eel, Atlantic salmon, pollack and Atlantic cod. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Loch Losguinn the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 14°C in August and bottom out at 5°C in February. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Loch Losguinn runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Loch Sgitheig at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat Loch Losguinn as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
