Loch Braigh a' Bhaile

An interesting loch with some shallow bays and deep areas, and can be challenging bankside gfishing in places.

It's a great place to fish as part of a day in Ardroe, also taking in Loch nan Gobhar - which has lots of inlets and islands and Loch Thornaid.

As with Loch Dubh, access from the track on the Achmelvich road but you will have to cross some rough ground. 

Part of the area was badly burned by a fire so may still be recovering from that.

I'm new to fishing but enjoying it hugely. Fished here in August and the only interest i received was one at 20inches. An absolute beaut and a real pleasure. It is back in the loch- so there are certainly fish in there.

Quite windy, quite cold and absolutely no sign of any fish in either of the two lochs I tried - Loch Braigh a' Bhaile and Nan Gobhar. Probably having their Sunday rest.

Cracking waters to fish but appear fishless! that was until my last cast on loch nan gobhar.I noticed many waterboatmen so i put an imitation on and caught the trout of a lifetime of at at least two and a half pounds.This was carefully returned to give another angler the thrill it gave me.Need a boat on loch dubh!!!!
