Hearty thanks to everyone at the Bangour Winter Championships today. You made it a fun day for all. Congratulations to the winners James Fairley with a fantastic 16, Colin Stewart with a solid 10, and Alex Weir catching 9 and narrowly beating Bobby Watson, also on 9, in a photo finish based on time of first fish caught. Can’t believe we’ve run the fishery for a whole year now! Thanks again to everyone for your kind support and patience with us learning the sport. See you all soon. Kindest wishes. Jason and Karen.

Well done Pat. Got yer 3 limit for 10 pounds of prime ‘bow with a McCoist, a bloodworm and a yellow dancer. Perseverance in the wind paid off in the end. All the best, Karen.

The bump memorial competition today was a triumph of angler over weather with howling cold rain and wind most of the day. Red sky in the morning anglers warning! Congratulations to Neil, Jocky, Tam and Chris who took the top four places with eight fish each - Neil taking top spot on first fish at 9:02. Thanks to all for a great day out fishing at Bangour. Kindest, Karen and Jason. PS who do the biscuit faces remind you of?

A good days fishing yesterday with anglers having to navigate the howling wind. It was great to see everyone still getting tight lines & catching. Here are two beauties caught early on; the first one caught on the 6th cast. Regards Karen

The run off from the storm is starting to colour up the water with clay particles after a crystal clear few months. Thanks to the Bonnyrigg guys for coming down today. Water fished well with no one blanking and more than half of the club taking their limit. Congratulations to Martin for winning the fly comp! Enjoy the photo everyone. Kindest, Karen and Jason.

User

Many thanks to everyone who fished with us today. It was a pleasure to host the Vale angling club who took 44 fish between them with a few taking their four fish limit before 9am. What a great bunch of guys! Enjoy the photos. Kindest regards Karen and Jason.

Hi everyone. Fishing has been great this week with 11 degree water temperature, clouds, rain and ripple - though feels more like winter than autumn.
Congratulations to Alex Britton on catching 23 fish in his six hour session on Saturday. Thanks also to the Bonniebridge and Linlithgow Angling clubs for fishing with us this weekend. Kudos to Neil Young and Bobby Watson for 31 fish between them this Sunday morning.
Enjoy the video from our Friday 100 rainbow delivery. The fish were keen to get into our loch!

User

Winter closing time. The days are getting shorter so we'll be closing at 5pm Tuesday - Sunday (closed Mondays)
Good fishing this week with the lower water temperature and fish being more interested in flies! A few anglers caught double figures. Thanks to everyone for coming along, I hope you enjoyed yourselves.
... Regards, Karen

So many people PM’d last week that they enjoyed watching the fish going in that I thought I’d post a video from this week’s 100 load too. 300 lbs of the best trout that money can buy. Enjoy!
Congratulations to Alan and Victor who both finished with 10 fish each today plus a few misses along the way. Kindest, Karen.

User

Well done to John O'Hara with his 3 fish limit today. Check out the tail on one of those 'bows! With the night drawing in and our closing time in the week still 9pm, folk are enjoying the golden hour rise. Good times!

User

User

User

Another challenging but enjoyable C and R session today, 3 to net and dropped another 5, fishing deep. The quality of the fish is superb, hard fighting and in perfect shape. New owners doing a great job and really thinking in the right way.

User

An excellent well kept and well organised fishery for bank fishers with seating at each peg and net. A seat now when bank fishing is essential when one gets on in years and with each platform covered with artificial grass it makes it very safe for walking.

User

4 years since I last left a review on this place and it still doesn't disappoint, Good to see even with a change of owners that it's still an immaculate picturesque fishery stocked full of hard fighting fish. I don't doubt that standard will ever drop

User

I think the best looking fishery iv fished , beautiful location , well presented , trees and bushes cut back to have a good cast , cracking fighting fish although never caught anything bigger than about 3lb , I’d like to think there is bigger in there , couple that run it are enthusiastic to help . Will defiantly be back 🎣
