17-acre lake near Dumfries and Galloway. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Kirriereoch Loch runs 17 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. You'll find it in Dumfries and Galloway. For a second option, Loch Moan lies 1 mi southwest.
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Through summer count on 5 to 15 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 15 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 7 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 5 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 3 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 3 to 12 ft. As the season builds they drop to 4 to 15 ft, wintering in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 13 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (13 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 15 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 7 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 13 ft, is the deepest of them.
Kirriereoch Loch is about 15 ft (5 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike on Kirriereoch Loch. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
