I have stayed for a week at a nearby cottage at the beginning of September (in 2009, 2010 and 2011), so Loch an Ordain was a venue for an odd hour's fishing with a light telescopic fly rod at the end of the day on several occasions. I have noticed in other lochs that the stock of small trout has been greatly reduced over the past two years (2010 and 2011), and I suspect the two harsh winters is to blame. But Loch an Ordain still has a good head of small fish. Choose your spot according to the wind - but I usually end up on the far bank at the north end. And try a variety of flies - one evening this year they were interested in black and red bushy flies, and woudn't look near an invicta, then a few days later, they couldn't get enough of an invicta! Fish with a light rod and debarbed hooks - and you'll have some fun. But don't expect a fish for the pan.
