• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Loch Daimh, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lochan nan Cat should be assumed from this page alone.
