Rescobie Loch Development Association

...was formed in the early 60's to provide the area with good affordable loch fishing.

The various committee members put in countless hours of hard work over the years to form a first class fishery. Perch and pike were removed, a pier and a boathouse were built and the loch was heavily stocked with rainbow and brown trout.

Work is still carried on by the present committee to ensure that the fishery maintains its reputation for quality hard fighting fish in excellent condition.

Rescobie Loch is a relatively shallow water of 200 acres which provides rich feeding throughout the year resulting in some really fine over wintered specimens. The loch record at present stands at 14lb 6oz for a brown trout and 17lbs 10ozs for rainbow and there is little doubt that there are comparable if not larger trout in the water. Why not take a look at the Records Page.
The 2010 season average weights were: Brown trout 4lbs. 8 ozs and Rainbow 2lbs 8ozs.

The fishing is run from the boathouse, which is adjacent to the B9113 Forfar to Montrose road. A map of the loch fishing spots, and a Google map for directions can be found on our Find Us page

See our prices page for details on boat/engine hire and times when permits can be obtained.

Tickets are sold on the understanding that anglers are familiar with and will abide by the rules of the loch.
