Faughlin Reservoir is an old reservoir that sits in the Carron Valley to the east of the main Carron Valley Reservoir and is operated as a small Stillwater by the Carron Valley Fishery. It has more of a “club” feel to it and I understand there is a fairly regular group of season ticket members who frequent the water giving it this atmosphere.

Newmill Trout Fishery is a multi pond, multi-method commercial trout fishery about three miles outside Lanark and about one mile from Carstairs. The fishery boasts six ponds all stocked with Trout. I believe one of the ponds may have operated as a coarse pond for a while but whether this is still the case I am not sure. As far as I could tell all the ponds hold Rainbow Trout. The Fishery also boasts a popular Fishing Tackle store.

by unfamous | Jun 6, 2017 | Trout Fishery Reviews | 0 |
The Glencorse reservoir is an L shaped reservoir nestled in the surrounding Pentland Hills. The hills afford some shelter to the loch but equally can be a funnel for local weather and you might experience four seasons in a day there. Regardless of the time of year, go prepared for anything and you will be fine.

Personal Opinions:
Worth a visit, on my visit maybe the conditions were a bit warm after a hot summers day so the fish weren’t in the mood to show themselves but they certainly pulled hard when you contacted one! If you have a wee electric outboard, I recommend taking it, the rowing isn’t itself hard (it’s not a big place overall) but the oars ( on the boat I had ) were a bit of a pain. Noisy ( on their mountings) , heavy and hard to maneuver in to the boat and stow as they are ( understandably) secured to the boat with cords to stop them being lost overboard. The reservoir being man made is hard to make natural but all things considered its about a good a job as you could hope for and it seems a tidy well run wee place with the shelter of woods on all sides which should help on blustery days high on the hill. The guy who was manning the fishery on my visit was very helpful and gave me useful information on what was catching and roughly where. I think the recommendation to use minimum 8lb line was correct when I was there as I have rarely experienced such hard pulls from fish when contacted. It really was like an electric shock.

Woodburn Trout Fishery is located at the foot of the Campsie Fells, at the site of a now defunct reservoir. It lies just above Antermony Loch to the West of Kilsyth.
Great fighting fish, clean and tidy fishery and good value for money, with pretty good facilities for the fly and bait angler ( bait anglers have their own pond to fish in) .

Read MoreLoch Coulter
by unfamous | Jun 26, 2014 | Trout Fishery Reviews | 4 |
The loch is quite a daunting stretch of water and can be very challenging despite being very well stocked throughout the season. It can fish its head off on good days but equally can be insurmountably dour. This tends to be the nature of Brown Trout waters generally and Coulter is no exception. There is little shelter at the loch so its best not to bother even going if the trees are moving at “normal” ground level, as it will be blowing a gale up there! The facilities, for a club water are first class and very good value. I strongly recommend if you are at all interested in the offering LASAC have, of getting your name down on the membership list. You won’t regret it.

Frandy Trout Fishery is located just off the Glen Devon Road which runs between Gleneagles and Muckhart. Its a moderately large water I would estimate to be around 150 acres or so being relatively long and narrow with a dogleg shape. You may remember Frandy Trout Fishery from the Popular Hooked on Fishing series with Paul Young, in the episode Glendevon Trout.

Read MoreGlenbervie Trout Fishery
by unfamous | Apr 6, 2012 | Trout Fishery Reviews | 3 |
This is a fairly new location for trout fishing in Central Scotland, opening I believe in 2011. Located in Torwood, near Larbert it consists of two ponds, the larger of which is fly only, the smaller, fly and bait fishing. With a few years under its belt the fishery is now well established among local anglers and features in the catch reports of local newspapers. On a recent visit it was apparent that the fishery has a loyal and regular custom. The lady who runs the place, I beleive her name is Marika, is very welcoming and always offering anglers cups of tea and coffee.

Read MoreBurnhouse Lochan Fishery
by unfamous | Feb 12, 2011 | Trout Fishery Reviews | 7 |
I have to say my visits to Burnhouse have been very favourable. I found it to be a very very friendly fishery- with anglers willing to chat about the fishery and other locations they fish. They were also keen to share information on what usually fishes well and what they were using at the time. The chap taking the ticket money ( Gary) was very helpful and even gave me a freebie packet of crisps at lunchtime when I went to buy some off him on one visit. A hot cup of tea or coffee is always on offer for free.
The rules are pretty much standard with the addition of no Boobies, or UV lures.
The fishery also has a very nice rule, again which seems to be supported by the anglers that if you locate a “hotspot” that you should relinquish it after catching 2 fish. This seems very fair and I noticed a lot of movement around the lochan so anglers seem to stay true to the rule.
