Heldale Water in South Hoy is completely different from all the other lochs in Orkney because of its great depth, up to fifty feet in parts. It also came under the OTFA stocking policy only recently and is now starting to produce quality fish but it is largely under fished due to its location and high sloping banks which make wading downright impossible on most of the loch. With Arctic Char being reintroduced in autumn 2002, the future for this loch could be very interesting. There are no boats for hire at this loch. Elsewhere on Hoy, Hoglinns Loch, which feeds Heldale, is thought to be devoid of fish and the Sandy loch in North Hoy does not hold many.
