Fishing Lochan Tùtach: what the data says
15-acre lake near Moray. The lake tops out around 16 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 15 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 94% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Brown Trout fishing at Lochan Tùtach
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 2 to 16 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 16 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 16 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 7-ft range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
