My dad and I fished Ghlinnen on 30th May (2011). Not being particularly fit it took us over an hour to walk to the loch.
The wind was blowing in from the south east, we did 2 drifts down the water each time as we got to the end of the drift the wind picked up making it very difficult to row the boat back up the loch. On the 1st drift down the SE bank we caught 3 fish 4-5 ounce range on size 12 kate Mclaren varient and Black Pennell.
After the 2nd unproductive drift we bank fished the south bank, west to east. I caught a few fish down the bank but the best area was the point of the small bay at the far end before the inlet burn. Casting and moving towards the point (as the rain began) I hit 10 fish landing half of them, an Olive Sedgehog and Kate Mclaren Varient size 12s doing the business. The trout were on the thin side and in the 4-6 ounce bracket. One fish that jumped out at the sedgehog looked better at around 3/4 pound.
A lovely water in cracking scenery and worth the walk. Perhaps the fish would be in better condition in a month or so time. all of the water was fishable from the boat, the SW area near the outlet burn was a bit shallow but fishing down to the outlet burn no waders were required.
The walk was quicker on the way back being mostly downhill and took 50 mins.
