From deep lochs to wide, fast flowing rivers, from coarse
fishing to fly fishing, the Glenkens offer an extremely wide variety of fishing
opportunities.
The water is
amongst the cleanest in Europe, and therefore rich in natural fish stock
including pike, carp, perch and roach as well as the trout for which Scotland
is world famous.
No license
is required to fish in Scotland, however, in most cases permits must be
obtained to fish individual rivers and lochs.
Loch Ken is best known for its pike fishing and it is an
exceptionally productive water holding a great many pike in the 4 to 15lb class
with a sprinkling in high double figures and the occasional twenty pounder.
St.Johns Town of Dalry offers the angler a good choice
including its own stocked Trout loch at Mossroddich for fly only fishing.
