Hi Kevin

Of course I don't mind

There are quite a few anglers on here that enjoy a spot of coarse fishing. But I'll move the post to the main discussion forum, instead of fishing reports.

Best wishes
Mike

Hi Kevin,
            Most interested , (like others on here    ), in a bit of coarse fishing. (Maybe not the competition).  By way of an advert (if Mike doesn't mind ) what kind of coarse fish have you got at Rothes , (I,m a perch boy but I know you have 30 pound carp eg ) , what other specimens do you have and what's the set up . Can anyone just turn up or do you have to book . What size is the coarse fish bitty . Would you allow fly fishing ? Do you sell bait . etc.
Cheers, 

 

Paul.

Hi Paul
the fish we have are ,common carp,mirror carp, golden orfe,bream and tench and eels which are quite big.we have just taken in another load of coarse fish which will make it alot better.The loch itself is completely seperate and is about an acre in size.If there is no compy on you can just turn up and fish.We only allow peopel with a bit of knowledge of coarse fishing on it and its not like the bait loch where its bubble float.keep nets are allowed and as long as the fish are treated properly and returned thats all we ask.If you want to fly fish for them there is some in the fly lochs also and have been caught on the fly aswell.but the coarse loch is purely for coarse anglers.The fish we have just got in are a very good size for the compy so it should make it interesting.hope this answers your questions any others just let me know.

[Paul Rankine]

Thanks for that Kevin.

Looks like a good opportunity for folk to add to their species list . Does your new stocking include some stripey things with spiky dorsals and redfins ? 

Cheers,

Paul.

Just put some pictures up on the website for those interested in coarse fishing of some fine specimens of Common,mirror,some ghosties,bream and tench into double figures.Names are now starting to filter in for the competition on 14th dec.Anyone interested can contact me on 07967 466973 to put names down .Should be quite enjoyable for those into their coarse fishing.You do need proper coarse takle to fish this loch and if a beginner, must be accompanied by a coarse angler who can take responsibility for the protection of the fish.

Is there a big demand for coarse fishing in this part of the country? Just interested to know how many anglers you get coarse fishing each day on average.

Also what does it cost for a days fishing?

[Rob Brownfield]

Fisher, there is a growing demand.

Trouble is, folk move to the area thinking there is no fishing available so sell there gear off. I did the same! The club I used to run numberd 72 in the Aberdeenshire area, and that was a club with no water! I am sure if we had had our own we would have had more. I am thinking of restarting it (and getting help this time!) as i get 1 or two enquireis a week consistantly through the year.

Hi Kevin

Would tactics like this be considered OK at the Glen?

Cheers
Mike
