Brown Trout fishing at Loch Nahinie or Drumlamford Loch
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 26 ft, then a winter hold in 4 to 26 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 12 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
