Brown Trout fishing at Kirriereoch Loch
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 15 ft, and they winter in 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.
