Loch Bealach na h-Uidhe or Loch Bealach a Bhuirich maps at 7 acres behind 0.4 miles of shoreline.

Brown Trout fishing at Loch Bealach na h-Uidhe or Loch Bealach a Bhuirich
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 11 ft is the zone. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 11 ft through summer, 2 to 11 ft in winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 5 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
