The trout here tend to be larger and of better quality than the other lakes in the area, perhaps due to limited spawning ground, which means there is more food to go round. In recent times they have been caught to 2.5lb.

Due to its clarity and low stock density this lake is always the most challenging, but if you can get one, it’s usually a golden specimen of over a pound in weight.
