Fishing White Loch: what the data says
12-acre lake near Perth and Kinross. The lake tops out around 32 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, White Loch draws 12 acres inside 0.8 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 44% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Brown Trout fishing at White Loch
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 32 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 32 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 14 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 10 to 32 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
