Fishery Information
Loch Fad Fishery is a freshwater loch located on the Isle of Bute in Scotland. The loch spans 175 acres and is situated directly along the Highland Fault Line. It is classified as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) by Scottish Natural Heritage due to its scenic beauty, diverse bird life, and vegetation. Loch Fad is surrounded by wooded hills, including one of the first commercial Douglas Fir plantations dating back to the 1840s.
What size do the fish go to?
The fishery primarily offers Rainbow and Brown Trout. The maximum depth of Loch Fad is 36 feet at the narrows, and the ends of the loch have shallower areas that are ideal for fly fishing. While fish can be caught throughout the loch, the south end tends to be more productive as the water warms.
What tactics work well?
Fly fishing is a popular method at Loch Fad, particularly in the shallower areas and the south end of the loch during the warmer summer months. Anglers can employ various fly fishing techniques to target Rainbow and Brown Trout.
What facilities are on site?
