32-acre lake near Na h-Eileanan an Iar. The lake tops out around 27 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.

Brown Trout fishing at Loch Geireann
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 8 to 27 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 27 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 12 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 8 to 27 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 27 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 4 to 27 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |

The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months.
