Lindores Loch

Tucked into Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, Lindores Loch is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lindores Loch should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

• For Ide

  Use a slow, steady retrieve with spinners and crankbaits, especially when the water is cold, to give the Ide a chance to strike.
