Glen Of Rothes Fishery

The Glen of Rothes Fishery is located near Elgin in Morayshire, covering about 6 acres of water set in a scenic Highland glen and offers stillwater bank fishing for rainbows, blues, browns and brook trout. The Lochs are mainly fly only, but there are also two bait lochs, including coarse fishing.

No need for booking unless you would like some tuition, just go to the lodge for your permit and some friendly advice about the best flies and tackle to use, plus rods and nets are available for hire. The lochs are stocked on a regular basis ensuring challenging, but highly rewarding fishing.

The Glen opened in 1994 and is a Troutmaster Competition Fishery, I believe the record for the heaviest rainbow trout currently stands at about 18 lbs. The lochs have matured well over the years, fly life is abundant and dry fly sport can be great when the conditions are right. Even the big carp are said to take a well presented fly and I believe some of these go up to about 26 lbs!
