"I had parked up near the road and wandered down to have a look at the woodland , I went into the Fishery and asked if I could take a few pictures of Loch Glow , they said yes so I just walked down to the jetty , I didn’t go any further because I didn’t want to disturb those who were fishing . It’s a beautiful location and I would imagine you could while away many hours catching fish there and enjoying the tranquility ."

"One of best fisheries in area. Stocking levels are decent,most people catch a fish without problems , fly fishing and spinning permitted. It's quite large area so plenty of space for everyone. Access is also easy ,just follow sat nav until you spot sign which directs you to fishery through woodland area. Of course is more busy during weekends,and to obtain a season ticket I think you need an invitation from existing members. Powerbait is most commonly used bait for trout out there."
