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.
