As far as i am aware you can catch dogfish/spurdog/mackeral/cod/wrasse/rockling/thornback rays/gurnard/flatties/whiting/pollack/coalie short spined sea scorpion and various others.

Hope this keeps you and your mates busy.

over 16 species in the loch are you fishing from the shore or on one of dougies boats ?
