Spawning Areas on the Lochay


This is an example of how we are storing information. This is a small section of map showing limits of fish access & spawning areas. We have about 15 different maps showing different types of information, each collating information over the 1000 miles.
In this example, the lines on the map show the limits of fish access. The red lines highlight stretches of spawning gravel, the red squares small pockets of gravel, the orange squares areas of marginal spawning gravel. The dotted red lines show watercourses that should be accessible but are not because of blockages. In a very steep sided glen like Glen Lochay, these smaller burns, although they are very short, have a disproportionate value to the whole system and should be respected as such.
