The loch is retained by the Pitlochry Dam which was built by Wimpey Construction between 1947 and 1950[1] as part of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Tummel Hydro-Electric Power Scheme.[2] The dam incorporates a salmon fish ladder, allowing around 5,400 salmon to ascend annually, and is a popular visitor attraction.
The loch is popular with anglers. The water holds a good head of brown trout and the native fish are augmented by a stocking in the 1-5lb range. A 7-pounder was recorded in 2001. Salmon and a few sea trout pass through as they head up the Tummel and Garry systems. 54 salmon were caught in 2001 the best being a fish of 14 ½ lbs, however fish to 28lbs have also been caught. June also sees the arrival of the summer grilse.
There are also good numbers of small pike with a few larger specimens mixed in. The best recorded pike have been over 30lb.[3]
