Fishing Lakes in Lerwick

Lerwick's fishing venues lean firmly toward loch water, with the seven listed here taking in spots ranging from Loch of Girlsta to Loch of Spiggie and Loch of Tingwall. It's a spread that gives an angler based in the town a fair choice of still water without having to travel far.

Loch of Asta, Loch of Benston and Loch of Huxter round out the page, each adding to the sense that this stretch of Shetland is built around its lochs rather than rivers or canals. Anyone wanting to widen the net further north could take in Unst, where two more venues are listed.
