2024 Season - New Arrangements re Opening Times and Catch and Release only
The fishery reopens on Monday 8 April. We are introducing some new arrangements this year around opening times and a move to catch and release only.

Opening Hours
We will be open from 09.00 to 20.00 or dusk, whichever is the earlier. The last two hour ticket will be issued before 18.00. If there is nobody fishing at 18.00, the fishery will close.
Catch and Release Only
In 2024, we are going to trial a policy of Catch and Release only. There are a number of reasons for us to trial this policy:
1. The price of fish has been rising rapidly over the past few years and has now reached a level where we don’t believe that it is practical to pass the cost on to our anglers.
2. The vast majority of our anglers now already fish Catch and Release.
3. It is easier to manage the fishery if we know everyone is fishing the same type of ticket.
We will continue to regularly stock the lochans, review the ongoing health of the fish and monitor catch numbers. We will solicit feedback throughout the season and make a final decision whether to continue with the policy at the end of the year.
