Fishing Loch of Clickimin: what the data says
39-acre lake near Shetland Islands. The lake tops out around 10 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Loch of Clickimin draws 39 acres inside 1.2 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory.
Brown Trout fishing at Loch of Clickimin
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 10 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 ft; winter keeps them in 1 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 5 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 3 to 10 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (5 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 2 to 10 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 10 ft | dawn | Break off the point (5 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
