Nestling in the picturesque Culm Valley in glorious Devonshire countryside, West Pitt Farm Fishery has two pools for day ticket fishing plus two holiday lodges which will be available for 2018 and which can be booked now. Since the fishery was taken over by new owners in June last year a great deal of work has been done on improving the lakes which now offer carp to 22lbs, large numbers of which are in the 3lb to 7lb range, tench to 7lbs, crucian carp and perch to 2lbs plus decent sized roach and rudd.
Scotland has long been famous for its stunning scenery and outstanding fishing. With the holiday season upon us, Fisheries.co.uk headed north to Dumfries and Galloway to scout out the scene. Here are three venues which can be fished on a day ticket. We will be uploading more shortly.
One of the few venues in Scotland to offer a mix of coarse and trout fishing Greenhill Fishery is also unusual for a Scottish fishery in that it has a dedicated specimen carp pool with fish running to over 20lbs. The venue also has one pool for general coarse fishing, a fly-only catch and release pool and another water where anglers can bait fish for trout rather than have to fly fish. For those looking for an angling holiday, Greenhill also has on-site glamping and camping accommodation in heated Pods, Wigwams, Timber Tents and Glamping Bothies with short two and three night breaks a speciality.
A particularly attractive and well kept water Alderneuk Trout Fishery is a quiet family run venue about four miles outside Dumfries. Established in 2008, the loch has matured nicely and is stocked with rainbow trout together with blue, brown and tiger trout. Although the lake record is a mind blowing 26lb 8oz, the majority of the fish run between 3lbs and 8lbs promising anglers plenty of rod-bending action. There is also a purpose-built fishing lodge with patio overlooking the loch where anglers can relax with free tea and coffee.
Stocked with rainbow, tiger and brown trout between 2lbs and 15lbs, Culdrain Trout Loch is about four miles from Dalbeattie and offers 8.00am to dusk fly fishing from the bank or two boats, the hire price of which is included in the ticket cost. An attractive water with some lovely fish, Culdrain has a small 'Members Lodge' which is often open when season ticket holders are fishing the loch. Members are usually happy to share local knowledge with visiting anglers. Because Culdrain is off the beaten track fishing permits must be purchased in advance from the local tackle shop in Dalbeattie.

In an attempt to reduce illegal and unpaid for fishing on Arrow Valley Lake in Redditch, the management has decided that anglers should obtain permits before fishing, either by visiting the Visitor Centre which opens at 10.00am every day, or on-line at www.arrow-valley.co.uk/angling. Anglers fishing without having purchased a ticket in advance will be charged £10.00 for their permit.
