A 4×4 or vehicle with high clearance is required to negotiate the bumpy track. Parking at the end of the track leaves a short 5-8 minute walk eastwards through a forest ride over wet boggy ground, crossing the deer fence style here anglers will arrive on the west bank.  In low water, Nam Breac acts as a small compensation flow to the Halladale river.  As such, the water level of the loch can vary throughout the season by as much as 7-8 feet. With a large head of fish averaging 8oz anglers can expect catches to be plentiful all around this loch.

                Loch Crocach

                F-Pbyrne1

                RSPB Lochs. Fishing season 1st April to 5th October. Three ‘clear rest days’ between angling days.

                Grid Reference: 804 438

                Elevation: 274m

                Bag Limit: 6 Fish limit (9″ inch minimum)

                Leave the A897 at Grid reference 897510 follow the forestry track to park at Grid reference 834448. A 4×4 or vehicle with high clearance is required to negotiate the bumpy track. Follow the fence line uphill in a WSW direction eventually travelling over the open moor for a total distance of 2.9km. Crocach has to be one of the clubs most attractive lochs, a remote moorland location with magnificent scenery. The loch has interesting bays and points to keep the angler occupied with a good head of fish in the region of 8/10oz, though bigger fish are occasionally caught. The loch deepens quickly so bank fishing is suitable and fish may be caught close in. Nothing for the glass case and a strenuous walk in but well worth the effort.
