Loch Lubanach Fishing Guide, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

• Overview

  Loch Lubanach stands in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Everything around it is mixed woodland. Head to Isle of Islay, 18 miles away, for anything you forgot. Ardrishaig follows at 19 miles, then Lochgilphead at 20 miles. Near neighbours: Loch a' Gharbh-uisge at 0.4 miles, Loch na Caime 0.4 miles off, Loch Righ Meadhonach at 0.6 miles, Loch Righ Beag 0.9 miles off and Loch Righ Mor at 1 mile. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Loch Lubanach

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name 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. Fish Loch Lubanach where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 14°C and February reads 5°C. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Loch Lubanach runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Loch a' Gharbh-uisge at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Loch Lubanach if anything is unclear.
