• Where to Fish on Loy Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover rainbow trout, common carp, goldfish and ide. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Fish Loy Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 83°F, with January the cold end at about 41°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Loy Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Waterloo Lake, 1.5 miles out. Check the current arrangement for Loy Lake.
