Brown Trout fishing at Lochan Uaine
Spring brown trout on Lochan Uaine hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 25 to 60 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 47 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).

You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
