Loch Fitty bites the dust.....

Unfortunate, but not unexpected.....

I feel for the staff, but surely they must have seen this coming?

Sadly I think this could be the first of a few to close.

Ive not fished at Fitty for several years but I went there a lot during my early years coming into the sport and have many fond memories of the place.

A bad blow for wee Richard and all the staff concerned.

I am sorry to learn that we have lost this fishery. Was there any particular reason for it going under and losing money?

This is the coalboard at its usual dirty tricks, I expect. They sold the fishing rights on the Waterside stretch of the river Doon, from under the noses of the Waterside fishing club, did not even give them a chance to buy it, after many many years of renting from them.

Look out for new owners at Loch Fitty in the near future, or a dirty great open cast site to encompass this area.

Bloody coalboard at its best.

I fish with a Dunfermline based club and I`ve heard it is going to be drained.

Read into that what you like

It,s a real shame what has happened at the fitty i remember going up the fitty as a youg lad on my bike and have some great days on the loch , As i got older the evening rises were magic with clouds of sedges every june ,july,and aug , I always felt that they got the stocking wrong with to many small or poor quality fish going in and thats when it got the nickname the :shitty fitty: but over all i will be sad to see it closed as i think it was a good place for young lads or lassies to go and catch a few trout . For what its worth i feel it will be drained and the coal board will take what they can and then just leave it to turn into waist land dam shame

Could the FFF take it over???

i e mailed loch fitty a couple of days ago to ask about the pike fishing and they did say that the fishery has been closed down which i thought was strange as they usually do the any method over the winter.. i used to like loch fitty for sport the fish quality has been poor a few years now though. wee shame
