Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is the largest expanse of fresh water in Great Britain by surface area, straddling the Highland Boundary Fault less than an hour from Glasgow. Salmon and sea trout run through the loch to the Endrick and Leven systems, alongside pike, perch, roach, dace and chub, and angling is managed by the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association: 2026 day permits are £30 for game fishing, coarse fishing is £10 a day, weekly permits are £80, and there is no fishing on Sundays under association rules. The loch also holds powan, a protected whitefish that must not be targeted and goes straight back if hooked by accident. No rod licence is needed in Scotland, the LLAIA permit is your permission to fish, from bank or boat.

LLAIA day permits £30 (game), weekly £80; coarse £10 a day (2026)

Loch Awe

Argyll and Bute

Loch Awe is Scotland's longest freshwater loch, running 25 miles through Argyll from Ford up to Kilchurn Castle beneath Ben Cruachan, and it produced the British record brown trout, a 31lb 12oz ferox taken by Brian Rutland in 2002. The Loch Awe Improvement Association sells permits online and locally at £10 a day, £20 for three days or £30 a week, with the trout season running 15 March to 6 October; pike can be fished all year (the Kilchurn Castle area needs its own pike permit), coarse species follow the trout season, and under-12s fish free with a permit-holding adult. Wild brown trout come freely to bank and boat tactics, while the loch's famous ferox are hunted by trolling deep water. No rod licence is needed in Scotland, the LAIA permit covers you, and overnight campers need at least the three-day ticket.

LAIA trout permits £10 a day, £20 for 3 days, £30 a week (2026)

Hammersley Pools

Ashley

Hammersley Pools is a quiet, natural coarse fishery near Market Drayton, recently reopened for day ticket fishing. The spring-fed pools were dug around forty years ago on the family farm at Ashley, just over the Shropshire border. One pool is open now, with 14 well-spaced pegs and plenty of room to spread out, holding carp into double figures alongside tench, bream, roach, rudd and perch. A second pool opens for fishing next year, and the smallest of the three is kept as a breeding water. Day tickets are £7 for one rod or £10 for two, paid on the bank, with free parking and fishing seven days a week from 7am to 9pm. The entrance is off Lower Road.
