Brown Trout fishing at Loch nan Eun
Spring brown trout on Loch nan Eun hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 35 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 23 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

Summer european perch concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 23 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
