i was speaking to a guy in the gym earlier who said that it is now stocked with bows and blues and has a good head of browns, thinking it may be worth a try!

Its a local water for local people

went to fish it once but left again, very unfriendly and the bait & buckie boys were out in force, big change from when paul young fished it for hooked on scotland!

that was a good few years back, it might have improved but i doubt it!

It is stalked weekly with browns and rainbows.Boat fishing is fly only but bank is bait and fly, and if you have not been a member for 2 years you can only fish the one side of the loch from the bank.
Prices are good with a day permit at around £8 and around a fiver for the boat.

just phoned them and asked the question about where you can fish as i did not like the idea of that, they advised if you are fishing from the bank you can fish 3 sides of the loch with the wooded area the only bit you are not allowed as it is for full membership holders only, however, if you hire a boat there are no exclusions and you are permited to fish the entire loch.
