Central scotland pike fishing

[beddywhip 0]

I know that most people dont want to tell anyone where there favorite fishing spots are but i'm planning on doin abit of pike fishing this year, mainly on the fly and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of where to go.

 

I've fished for years but mostly just trout so not sure where to start for pike!!

 

Any help would be great, Thanks

hi mate

 

 

I’m from the north east, and a friend of mine used to fish loch Lomond for pike with good results but not sure how far it is from you and if you have transport.

you are spoilt for chose up there with all them lochs, what I would say is get some local advise on productive areas as this will save you

hours of searching at wherever you decide to fish.

Below is a link of a site you can go to and ask people who will fish your area and will let you know where to start.

Fishing isn’t as political as hunting I find

 

 

 

good luck

Barrhead dam used to hold some very good pike.

Loch venechar near callander is not a bad pike water

Loch Awe is stunning, the shallow areas around Kilchurn Castle are a good bet in spring, fished there a few times there myself,
