7-acre lake near Highland. The lake tops out around 7 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Loch nan Losganan draws 7 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. The water lies in Highland. For a second option, Loch Kemp lies 2 mi west.
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 7 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 7 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 7 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 3 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 1 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 2 to 7 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 7 ft through summer, 2 to 7 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (6 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 7 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 7 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 7 ft covers summer, 2 to 7 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Main-lake point, around 7 ft, is the deepest of them.
Loch nan Losganan is about 7 ft (2 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike on Loch nan Losganan. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
