Mishnish Lochs

Those Lochs hold Brown Trout only, up to 4lbs, and are stocked every two years with 5 inch fish. the fish grow quickly, owing to the abundant food supply and are good fighters.  
The fish are very good to eat, being pink fleshed and very tasty.  
The season for this Loch is from 1st. April to 31st. September.  
No spinners are allowed on the Mishnish Lochs
