6-acre lake near Na h-Eileanan an Iar. The lake tops out around 18 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 6 acres, worked by 0.4 miles of shoreline. 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. Roughly 89% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. It sits in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Its nearest charted neighbour, Loch Airigh na Lic, is 2 mi to the north.
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 18 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 18 ft, and they winter in 3 to 18 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 ft. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
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 | 2 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 3 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on unnamed hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 5 to 18 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 18 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 15 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |

| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 5 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (15 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 5 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is a 5 to 18 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 8 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

Count 3 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 15 ft.
unnamed is about 18 ft (5 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 unnamed. 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 15 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
