First time I have been back since the change of management ,plenty of parking and a large fisherman's bothy where the Kettle is always on .A friendly and helpful bailiff. There are 12 roomy boats on the water with a good pier . The size is 23 acres and stocked with Rainbows ,blues and brown trout .We came for a short evening stint , My young 8 year old companion was delighted when I hooked a nice 2 1/2 pounder and left her to play the fish to the net . The water was very calm last night and we did see fish being caught . The Lake is a Troutmaster Lake and regular club competitions are held on it .it is always better to phone for a boat as it gets quite busy

Really pretty harbour with lovely old buildings all the way down to it. Great wee cafe on the way down called the Crail gallery and cafe. Shack selling lobster and dressed crab so you can sit around the lovely old stone harbour to eat it, if you like.

Went here in April 2021. Me and my two kids who are 12 and 9 years old. We hired rods and staff were very helpful and friendly even when my son got his line tangled in the reel. All we caught was a very small fish but my kids were pleased with that. The site has toilets which can be accessed despite Covid restrictions. There’s also chickens on site that kids will like and I noticed a food van when I was there which I assume is open once Covid restrictions are lifted. As for cost then we were around £22 for all three of us including rod hire and bait. That covered us for 2 hours which was plenty. To the staff that work there - thank you for all your help! You really make the experience great so keep up the good work! Will definitely be going back.

We are a small fishery run by the Dunfermline Artisan Angling Club. We are a fly fishing club and the main pond is fly fishing only, we also have a second pond that is open to bait fishers. We have a variety of visitors tickets which are listed on the website. We are open from the first Saturday in March until the 31st October from 9.30 till dusk.

Only 4oo yards from my house ,perfect for a wee bit of exercise after lunch . Not another soul to be seen on a sunny day ,we walk up the west bank and along towards the north side with the odd fish rising . We get to the corner and watch a shoal of rainbows working their way towards us ,just crying out for a wee fly to land on their nose . Fish rising in the middle and along the east bank . Looking out over the top pond there is a fair bit of wildlife ,ducks ,swans and the everpresent gulls ,A good few moorhens ,but I am not seeing many rises at all but it maybe that the top pond was not stocked before the lockdown . What did annoy me was poachers who had a fire going sometime and had been cooking what they had caught leaving ash and bones on the top of the East bank . It was a very pleasant walk and good to be out and about . I cannot wait to get a rod back in my hand again lets hope the fisheries manage to survive this crisis .When the fishery reopens it is well worth it fishing from the bank ,fly fishing only .The top pond is bait fishing and reasonably priced .Roll on the lifting of lockdown .

Lovely surroundings, good days fishing. Plenty choice of areas to fish due to size as its a good size loch not a pokey little fishery. £10 for day, 6 fish limit that can be increased for further payment.
6. Lomond Hills Fishery
Lomond Hills Fishery is a fantastic trout fishery set in arable land between the picturesque Lomond Hills, approximately 2 miles northwest of the village of Leslie, Fife. Open all year round, our three still water reservoirs offer mixed method fishing with 12 boats available for hire and bank fishing also permitted.
