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.

Swanswater 6th February 2011
I fished Swanswater today- was thinking of venturing further afield down to Burnhouse, which is a place I have not fished before but was too tight for time between family commitments and closing time (around 17:00 most places right now).So went to a VERY quiet Swanswater- think the Rangers v Celtic game was keeping people away- all the better for me.
