169-acre lake near Dumfries and Galloway. The lake tops out around 14 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Loch Maberry or Loch Mayberry draws 168 acres inside 2.9 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout.
Brown Trout fishing at Loch Maberry or Loch Mayberry
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 2 to 14 ft. Summer keeps them at 4 to 14 ft, and they winter in 2 to 14 ft. Start at Break off the point.
