For an exciting fishing experience, welcome to Achagour Fishery, a series of man made lochs extending to some 7 hectares with a depth of between 10 and 14 feet at their deepest points. They are fed by the Red Burn which flows through them, bringing with it all the nutrients required to provide the perfect habitat for both Brown, Blue and Rainbow Trout, with which they are stocked. Although relatively new, they are already attracting numerous species of water birds which are taking advantage of the new habitat, and, in time, it is hoped that the lochs will become a wildlife haven.  The area has been extensively landscaped and a continued program of sympathetic planting is planned.

The lochs are open all year on a catch and release basis, with a 4-bag per rod/session available at extra cost.  The lower lochs are fly only.
