Hi Reidy,
I am a member of Bonnybridge Club, they control the fishing on Drumbowie, I am sorry but we only give out day tickets to people who are fishing with a member, we are very protective of the good fishing that we have on Drumbowie and we operate a rota system for the members so everything has to be done on a controled situation to ensure that all our members are looked after, if you would like to try out our water contact me and I am sure we will be able to find a member who would be only too glad to go out with you, if you enjoy the fishing enough to want to join, we still have a few places open on the rota.
yours in fishing Arthur.
