Set lower and more sheltered than Harperrig and Threipmuir, it has more of the feel of a proper fly pond than an open reservoir — low banks, birch trees, the hills rising behind. It's stocked with rainbows and the odd brown, fished from boats and from the bank, and on a calm evening in May the midges come off thickly enough that the rises move across the water in broad sheets. It doesn't grow fish as large as its bigger neighbours and the fishing is rarely spectacular, but it's the kind of water that suits an angler who wants a quiet couple of hours after work rather than a full-day expedition. Handy for Edinburgh and much less exposed when the wind is up.
