Bonaly Reservoir is a wild brown trout hill reservoir in the Pentland Hills Regional Park above Colinton on the south west edge of Edinburgh. It is a walk-in water reached from the Bonaly car park and holds wild brown trout rather than stocked fish. No formal day ticket scheme is published for Bonaly itself; the stocked and permitted trout fisheries in the same hills are nearby Clubbiedean and Glencorse, so check the Pentland Hills Regional Park fishing pages for current access arrangements before you go.
