Fishing near Dunfermline, Scotland


Dunfermline sits in Fife, central Scotland, within easy reach of a varied freshwater fishing scene. The area is best known for its stocked trout fisheries — Craigluscar Reservoir, run by the Dunfermline Artisan Angling Club since 1893, and Balmule Fishery are both close to the town. Loch Gelly provides coarse fishing for roach, pike and perch, while Loch Glow and Golden Loch draw fly anglers after rainbow and wild brown trout. Rivers including the Black Devon and the wider Forth system extend the options for those after game fish.
