Fishing Loch Mòr Bharabhais or Loch Mor Barvas: what the data says
235-acre lake near Na h-Eileanan an Iar. The lake tops out around 8 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 235 acres wrapped in 3.2 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory.
