My uncle and i decided to go to COWANS LAW yesterday for the first time in a long time we paid £40 between us for 8hrs fishing and ended up with 5????????offers between us???? there were a dozen anglers on at one point and after a few hours i counted 4 fish caught only. now i know it was cold and it IS NOVEMBER but not until we went round into the bay where they stock it did we find 3 anglers with a fish or 2. with the trees all chopped down and obviously a low stocking density the mood and atmosphere has gone for me. i used to fish here quite a lot but something doesnt seem right. i once heard they were selling it ,is that true? its a shame but on a positive note any fish i did see were good quality. i may be off the mark here ,and im only giving my honest opinion BUT Ii dont think so. has anyone else fished it lately.??

we had a club outing 5th october 10 rods 4 fish then c/r plus a bacon roll and tea for breakfast and a cracking lunch for £25 a head..... we had 22 fish for 89lb not bad i thought

Im afraid its on the slip the girls have been trying to shift it for a couple of years now i heard they were looking for £500,000+ for the whole lot house,shooting,fishery etc. It still has some serious fish in it of a considerable quality , but as you say the stocking policy is a pale shadow of what it was . Used to be a regular a couple of years ago but when you take into account the prices , there are better options elsewhere in ayrshire . Its a pity because it is in good surroundings ..

I fished Craufordland in Fenwick on Monday, it was frosty and like a mill pond but still caught fish on a Cats whisker,( dancers, CDC`s, diawl bachs all work well). Plenty of fish there and the other fishermen are friendly, but the guy that runs it can be hard work sometimes.
I have fished it a good few times and never blanked yet, its £10 for 2 fish then C&R which is ok.

His son Ian i think it is fished Harelaw a few months ago, seems like a nice guy...
