Set in the Trossachs, amidst magnificent scenery where Highland meets Lowland, the 700-acre Lake of Menteith is a well regarded rainbow and brown trout fishery in Scotland and is reputed to be the best location for fly fishing for rainbow trout and brown trout in Central Scotland.
Its central location (Glasgow 45 mins, Edinburgh 60 mins, Perth 50 mins)
makes it ideal for meeting with friends for a day's or evening's fishing.
The Lake is stocked weekly with 1000 to 1500 quality trout, and yields an average
landed fish weight of over 2lbs. In 2011 the average 2 man boat (8hr) catch was 5.8 fish for 13.9lbs oz. The catch and release percentage was 35.7%.
The 30-strong fleet of Lomond (Sweeney) Boats has recently been upgraded, and all are equipped with Yamaha or Suzuki outboards. The fishery cabin with wood burning stove and tea/coffee are available to the anglers. Additionally a catering van is present
The Lake has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its exceptional fauna and flora. Historically the lake has much to offer, with the impressive and tranquil ruins of the 13th century Inchmahome Priory situated on the largest of the Lake's three islands.
These attributes make the Lake an outstanding venue for some of the most prestigious fishing competitions and a great day out for all anglers.
