  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Loch Righ Meadhonach, 0.7 miles out.
