Trout Fishing

Our cottages have access to a private trout loch 'Mossroddich' which is situated on the outskirts of St John’s Town of Dalry just a few miles away from the cottages. Mossroddich is a 6 acre hill loch stocked regularly with both brown and rainbow trout and has stunning views over the local countryside. There are three boats, however, many fishermen enjoy fishing from the hard bottom shallows but waders are advisable. A daily ticket costs £15. For further information see: Mossroddich Loch For other trout lochs see: Fishing in Galloway

Mossroddich is fly fishing only with a 4 rod limit at any one time, a three fish per person limit and Sunday fishing is allowed. Mossroddich is stocked regularly with fish between 1lb and 3lb with the occasional heavier fish from 5lb to 10lb for good measure. There a various other trout lochs in the area all within 30 minutes drive to offer a varied choice of venue and some exciting sport.
