Loch Fad

Loch Fad is situated just a short drive from Rothesay town centre, and offers the keen angler or fisherman both trout and pike fishing. At 175 acres, the ‘long loch’ lies directly along the Highland fault line. It is classified by Scottish Natural Heritage as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its scenic beauty and its huge diversity of bird life and vegetation. With a maximum depth of 36 feet at the narrows, the ends of the loch have shallower areas ideal for fly fishing and although fish can be taken all over, the south end does tend to fish better as the water warms.
