A friend and I had a wonderful day on this loch back in June. We lost count somewhere around the 30 fish each mark. The trout on this water are extremely obliging and although none are massive there are plenty of good eating sized fish to be had. The two we kept were pink-fleshed and delicious - no doubt because the loch sits on limestone and supports freshwater shrimps. We found that the trout were feeding right up to the bank but also in and around the weed beds. Great fun to be had tempting them on the surface with emergers and deer hair sedges.
There is a good walk in which makes it all seems a bit of an adventure. A highly recommended water for getting a child or beginner enthused about fly fishing. Stunning surroundings too.
