Fishing

Loch Lomond
The largest surface area of fresh water Loch in the UK. And as you would expect with its size it holds possibly the largest variety of fish in Scotland. This ideal habitat provides great sport for the angler. Salmon and sea trout return up the River Leven into the Southern reaches of the loch, whilst brown and rainbow trout, pike, perch, roach, chub and dace offer variety for every angler. What more glorious surrounding could you ask for to practice your sport.

Carbeth Fishery - Situated in the beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, 1 mile from Queens View and within easy reach of Glasgow. This peaceful area allows you to enjoy a quiet and relaxing few hours, whilst you enjoy a sport that is loved by many.
