Barmagachan Trout Fishery is a 5-acre spring-fed loch which is open all the year round. Throughout the year the loch is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout ranging in size from 2lb up to 9lb. There is also a population of specimen Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Tiger Trout and Golden Trout.

Catch and return fishing is encouraged at Barmagachan and a range of tickets is available for anglers who only wish to fish in this way. The ticket range is extended for anglers who may wish to take up to 4 Rainbow Trout.

The rules of the fishery are simple and directed towards preserving the health of the fish stock and the beauty of the location. Fishing is by fly only, using barbless or debarbed hooks. No boobies or flies larger than size 10 are permitted. Returned fish must be released quickly, carefully and not taken out of the water if possible. Fish should only be handled with wet hands. No boats, float tubes or wading allowed.

Only Rainbow trout can be taken. All Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Tiger Trout and Golden Trout must be released carefully back into the loch.

Angling is from 9am to sunset. Booking is advisable as ticket numbers are strictly limited. Tickets must be purchased at the farmhouse before beginning fishing. There is no limit to the number of fish you can catch and return, but if you wish to take any fish home you must first purchase the correct ticket.
