Eela Water

Eela Water is a freshwater loch (lake) in Northmavine, part of the mainland of Shetland in Scotland.

The Eela rod fishing involved doing so from calm waters, or rowing into the tide and holding the boat steady (usually trying to catch coalfish).

[8][9] Eela Water is on the north-western arm of the mainland of Shetland (known as Northmavine), some 3.2 kilometres (2 mi) west of the settlement of Ollaberry.

[13] The WTW plant is adjacent to the B9079 from Ollaberry,[14] and pumps water to the rest of the mainland in a pipeline through Mavis Grind.

[19] In 2008, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency listed Eela Water as having a good ecological status.
