Another couple of favourites of mine are also worth checking out as I have taken fish to a good size from both.
Glen of Rothes has 6 acres of water, set in magnificent Highland scenery in the Northeast of Scotland, and provides excellent Stillwater bank fishing for Rainbow trout, as well as for Browns, Blue rainbows and Brook trout. The lochs are mainly fly only, but there is a dedicated coarse loch with superb quality Carp, Bream, Orfe and Tench well into double figures and is the only coarse loch in the area and a separate bait loch suitable for families with Rainbow Trout.
The Mill of Kellas trout fishery is Scotland’s newest trout fisheries and is also a trout master’s water. Opened in July 2009 the fishery comprises of two fly lochs and one bait loch. All the lochs are re-stocked weekly with fish from 2.5lbs in to double figures. All fish stocked are grade one fish supplied by Belhaven Trout Company and all the lochs are fully accessible by wheel chair.
