• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lochan Srath Dubh-uisge at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lochan Beinn Damhain.
