The trout population of Kinnabus has improved dramatically in quality and size over the last 5 years and fish can be taken all over the loch. Several bays provide shelter in windier conditions so finding a spot to cast is never a problem. The loch's surroundings also offer a great chance to see some wonderful wildlife, deer and birds of pray are commonly spotted.

Kinnabus is part of the R.S.P.B. reserve on the Oa and Port Ellen Angling Club has a good relationship with them. A boat is moored at the jetty on the loch and can be very useful for getting to the centre of the larger bays, float tubes are excellent on this loch, electric outboards only are allowed on the boat. A large car park and club hut welcome visitors to the loch.
 

Wading is good all around the loch, in particular on the south side of the loch and the north east shore where the little stream runs in from the school loch.
