A magical loch, especially in the evening or early morning - Cul Fraioch is difficult but rewarding. It can be very dour and even when 'on' the trout can be hard to catch. However, they are high quality, with deep pink flesh and there are some larger specimens caught every year.
There is a boat located at the northern end (NC335023).
Overcast days are best and often the evening is the time to head up here.
Go to Culkein bay, head up the road uphill away from the bay and park right at the top at the entrance to a track - there are some large boulders blocking the path. Walk along the track that leads along the loch to the end for the boat, or head overland to start fishing.
Please note: There is a small section of fenced land at the south Western end of the loch which has a small promintory. This is NOT included in the ACT fishing at the moment, so please don't fish here.
