Semple Loch
Excellent coarse fishing with pike to 20lb+, roach, perch and eel. Salmon
and sea-trout are also present in the loch as they pass through en route
to the River Calder. Facilities include a club boat for use by any club
member and any legal angling method is allowed here subject to club rules.
Barr Loch
Offering the same species as Castle Semple Loch this water is situated
within a R.S.P.B. managed nature reserve and the number of rods is limited
to eight at any one time. Members only, no day tickets available.
River Calder
Around 5 miles fishing for wild brown trout in the scenic Calder Glen.
Salmon have been returning to the river in increasing numbers and a planned
fish pass at Bridgend Falls should ensure a healthy stock of migratory
fish for the future.
