not seen a mention for hopetoun fishery yet.
is it because the power bait crew are always in attendance?
i have fished there a few times with the fly and have caught some cracking rainbows up to the 5lb mark. double figure fish are also caught on a regular basis,so just wondered why no one seems to mention the place?
are the clueless power baiters that off putting? personally i couldnt care bout them cos most times ive been i have usually caught fish.
and how many waters in the central belt do you know off that have a no fish limit? its a decent wee fishery, and i would like to hear your comments bout the place .thanks cowboy

Hello YC,This fishery is not classed as a fly fishery(It's 1.5 acres and 50ft deep).
It's old name is Paddy Higgins Quarry(he drowned his 2 sons in it).The story is quite sad but worth reading into if you like local history.
Anyway,this fishery is not everyones cup of tea.Just my 2p worth.
Andy.

I am afraid I agree with Andy its not a great fishery and its Haunted

Apart from yourself,how many flyfishers do you meet on the banks of Hopetoun.
