Why is Loch Awe home to some very big brown trout, and the British Record?
Loch Awe, along with several other freshwater Scottish lochs is home to ferrox trout, a species of wild brown trout that feed on Artic Char and smaller trout. Contrary to popular belief, these fish grow big naturally, and have existed in the loch for thousands of years. Little is known about them, but they seem to grow biggest in Loch Awe due to its size and unspoilt environment.
