The Killin and Breadlabane
Angling club has done an extraordinary job over
the years in assembling trout and coarse fishing
and making it available to the public. If waters
are not administered by the club then they are
let directly by the owners. The Tay is covered
by a protection order under the Salmon and Freshwater
Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1976 which aims to both
protect the fish and guarantee public access.
Access to trout and coarse fishings is incredibly
wide around Killin, but there are a few exceptions
by reason of safety, privacy and common sense.
The exclusion zones are:
River Lochay
In the immediate vicinity of Power Stations and
Hydro works. (approx. 700m)
The grounds of Boreland House (approx.1 km)
52
kilometers of main stem banks available.
Access is thus available
for 96% of this water.
River Dochart
In the built up areas of Killin itself where many
houses and private gardens back onto the river.
(approx. 1.5km)
A single pool below the Bridge of Lochay that
the owner wishes to keep private. (approx. 300m)
The area immediately around Auchlyne House (approx
500m of the left bank)
40 kilometers of main stem
banks available.
Access is thus available
for 95% of this water.
West end of Loch Tay (east end is administered
by ELTAC)
The harbour at Fir Bush (approx. 300m)
The harbour at Milton Morenish (approx. 300m)
The harbour at the Boys Brigade Center at Ardeonaig
(approx. 500m)
The private frontage at Fiddlers Bay by Fat Man
(approx. 500m)
The private frontage at Camusurich (approx. 200m)
The private frontage at Finlarig (approx. 300m)
22 kilometers of bank available
Access is thus available
for 90% of this water.
The Officers of Killin and Breadalbane Angling
club are to be congratulated for their sterling
efforts to ensure that public access is guaranteed.. |
