Hi. Just a wee reminder that all kids under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Please do not drop them off & then drive away. They won't be allowed to fish unaccompanied & we will have to call you to pick them back up. Thank you!

FISHERY TEMPORARILY CLOSED!
I've been keeping a closer eye on the weather forecast & with the temperatures for the week ahead looking well into the 20's again, likely 25 plus, the fishery will be closed for the next week. Oxygen levels have stayed good & the ph of the spring fed waters are superb despite current weather conditions, however the water surface temperature has been steadily increasing the last few days, so we'll give the fish a well deserved break. All going to plan, we'll re open on Monday July 26th! For updates, you can find us on FB or back here on our web site. Thanks folks!

*SPECIAL NOTICE*
Hi all. In light of this afternoons Scottish government announcement,  as of 22/03/2020, we have made the difficult decision to close our fishery for the foreseeable. Look after yourselves & we'll have the kettle on when we re open again, after we're through the other side of this unusual event.

*SPECIAL NOTICE*
Hi folks! I'm just letting you know that the fishery will be open as normal tomorrow & over the following days, unless otherwise advised by Government. We are considered a low risk business. Anti bacterial soaps are in the toilets as normal for your use and the office surfaces are cleaned multiple times in a day, as they always have been. I always wash my hands before making teas also, as I always have out of habit. Otherwise, there is no need for close contact when fishing. As I keep stating, so long as you are not prone to kissing your fellow angler every time they land a fish, to congratulate them, you should be fine! Any snacks we sell are all individually wrapped & only the staff member is allowed to make teas/coffees, served in disposable cups. But of course, as always, feel free to bring a flask & munchies with you!..
