This site suggests it might be Loch Maree

The answer definitely isn't Loch Maree, I had an email today to say I got the question wrong.

I had an email today to say that 'Loch Assynt' is the wrong answer as well

"Oh, and by the way a Glasgow fishing tackle dealer called William Robertson devised The Kate McLaren in the 1930’s. He first used it on Loch Maree in Wester Ross."

[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]"From the vice of William J. Robertson, the famous Glasgow, tackle dealer. Had its baptism of fire on Loch Maree in Wester Ross in the mid 1900s,where it fished well for Sea Trout. Certainly a variation on the tried & tested Black Pennell"

Don't quite agree on date, but definitely agree that the answer is

Loch Maree

ohh cross post or what! I was so pleased too

I have found a book excerpt by searching google books, that suggests it was designed for Loch Hope. Will let you all know if I get an email.

no email so far, so perhaps I got the answer right?
