Kinross Trout Fishery — Local services in Scotland

Been attending Kinross Fishery for many years now and although I’m not the worlds greatest fisherman I always enjoy every visit to this fantastic facility. The surroundings and general layout of the fishery is always maintained immaculately and the staff always courteous and friendly and always on hand with advice or to ask how your doing with regards how many fish you’ve managed to land. As I mentioned I’m not the worlds best fisherman and don’t have the skills and expertise of some of the top anglers at Kinross but nevertheless I still enjoy every visit even although I’ve had more bad days than good but not because of the lack of fish in the ponds because you can see that the fishery has an abundance of big fish when they swim by laughing at my casting and lack of prowess of fly choice. And even when I have another “Blank” day and no fish it doesn’t dishearten me because I’m already looking forward to another relaxing day taking in the superb surroundings of this fantastic and...

First time going, it was meant to be terrible weather but we avoided the snow. It is a lovely place, loads of places to fish. Friendly staff, want you to catch, felt like they wanted us to be there and come back. Didn't overly chat. Reasonably priced £20 for 4 hours catch and release. Actually think its 19 but a pound was for entering biggest fish of the month where you get some money. Lots of flies on site to purchase I saw blob and buzzer gear for fly tying too, hot drinks usual snacks, only thing I didn't see was a toilet. May need to check that for next time as no signs and never saw a port a loo or anything but first time so I may not of noticed as only four hours. I was blown away with the hard fight of the fish even small ones where fighting hard. Like really hard, stunning place as you can see. Would I go again, absolutely cos I felt every cast I could of caught and that feeling never really left....

First time at this beautiful fishery and it was well worth the trip. The welcome was friendly and Andy made me feel right at home and advised me what tactics to try. Out of the three fly lakes available, the one I fished was gin-clear and some rainbows the size of newborn babies cruised right under my rod tip. I set up two rods - a midge tip washing line with two wee red nymphs held up by a FAB. But I started with my floater and a CDC because there were midges hatching and fish rising within casting distance. After a couple of refusals I tried the midge tip and 2nd cast I got a lively 2 pounder that took my Red Muskin. Now there was a ripple on the surface so I went back to the dries and took three nice rainbows in the 2-3lb class on a wee size 16 Olive CDC shuttlecock with a hare's ear thorax. Four lovely fish in as many hours. I'd love to have been able to...
