About Loch Voil

Loch Voil sits in Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Loch Voil come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic salmon

  When fishing for Atlantic salmon, pay close attention to water depth and current, as they often hold in specific locations to conserve energy.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
