Anglers at Dunoon Reservoir

Many anglers have no option on their home waters but to fish in rather crowded conditions. When contemplating a fishing holiday, many such anglers must long to fish for brown trout in solitude amid beautiful scenery.

 

Few waters now hold truly wild fish and those that do need conserving. Dunoon and District Angling Club however can offer brown trout fishing in surroundings approaching the ideal, amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, and all within 15 miles of Dunoon.

For salmon and sea trout, the Club's river fishings provide a wonderful backdrop. The catches of these fish now appear to be improving after the shortages of recent years which affected most west Highland rivers.

The Club provides angling for 200+ members and the Club waters consist of 3 trout lochs - Dunoon Reservoir (rainbow), Loch Loskin and Loch Tarsan (brown trout) and Loch Eck (salmon, seatrout), as well as Rivers Finnart, Cur, Massan and Ruel for salmon, seatrout and brown trout. All the Club's rivers are "late and spate", ie fish best from June onwards, and need a fair head of water to fish well. For the inevitable times when the brown trout are "off the take" and the rivers are running low, the Club has a popular rainbow fishery where a low rod limit applies and where there is a good chance of a decent fish from those regularly stocked.
