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 two venues which can be fished on a day ticket. We will be uploading more shortly.
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.

The existing Lake One cabins at Weston Lawns Fishery to the north of Coventry have been supplemented by the addition of two new large fully-furnished cabins whilst later this year the fishery will open a new specimen pool which will be reserved for anglers staying in a new three-bedroom cabin. The pool will offer angling for specimen carp to 30lbs and good sized catfish. Next year the existing five eco-cabins on Lake One will also be converted into new large fully furnished cabins. |
2017 has had a flying start at Gloucestershire's Wildmoor Waters with several carp over 30lbs being banked including a spectacular 39lb common which fell to 14-years-old Lewis Pugh. Lewis lured this elusive common fishing two pieces of fake corn over a bed of particles. Follow the link for the full story and photos. |
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.
