Fly fishing our summer
Well, summer arrived on Friday and I wasn’t going to miss it, so took a halfy from work and headed up to North Third for the late session, 16:30 to 22:30. At £18 including the hire of a boat and a 10 fish bag limit, with C&R also allowed, this has to be good value, maybe the best in the area amongst commercial fisheries?

North Third Fishery
Please note North Third Trout Fishery, following two years of maintenance work on the dam wall by Scottish water, which resulted in closure of the fishery, it has decided to close down. For the time being the loch no longer operates as a trout fishery. If this changes I will update it here, so please treat the information below as for interest only as the fishery is no longer operational.

Burnhouse Lochan Fishery
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.
