The Glen of Rothes Trout Fishery is located near Elgin, which is actually in Morayshire, but anglers from Aberdeenshire often drive up for a day's fishing.

The Glen has 6 acres of water, set in magnificent Highland scenery and provides excellent stillwater bank fishing for rainbows, browns, blues and brook trout. The Lochs are mainly fly only, but there are also two dedicated bait lochs.

There is no need to book ahead, unless you require instruction or guiding. Just go to the lodge to buy your day or part-day permit and you will receive friendly advice on what flies and tackle to use. Rods and landing nets are available for hire if you don't have your own.

The lochs are stocked on a regular basis to ensure a steady head of fish that will give a challenging but highly rewarding day's fishing.

The average weight of each fish caught has been steady at 2 lb ever since the fishery opened in 1994 and the record for the heaviest rainbow trout stands at 18 lb and 9 oz.

Now that the lochs are matured and fly life is abundant, the dry fly sport can be exceptional and even the huge carp in the lochs will take a well presented fly, with the best being taken around 26 lbs in weight.

There is a fully qualified APGAI/FFFCI instructor at the fishery.
