Default burnhouse lochan

Good evening!

Just wondering if anyone has fished Burnhouse recently.

I'm thinking of taking a trip up tomorrow but have checked their website and there is no catch reports for over a month so just wondering how its fishing.

Cheers!

Brian

thanks Jim, i think i'll probably go up and give it a go, i've always thought the quality of the fish at Burnhouse was pretty good but sadly, ive heard a a few people saying the same as mitchwell recently.

Just returned from burnhouse on the first fishing trip this year it is completely ice free but still b@@dy cold, only a couple of other hardy soles fishing and they were all into fish. I managed i rainbow for 2lb.4oz but missed a few takes so was probably down to my errors it fell to a black/green flexi cat on a midge tip line fished almost stationery fish were deep as i didn`t notice any surface activity whilst i was there, as mentioned before the quality of the fish has improved it was full tailed and full of life and certingly didn`t want to be netted,half day tomorrow so i might take a gander back up

Chris.
