Welcome to The Lake
The Lake of Menteith is Scotland’s only natural lake and is internationally renowned for the quality of trout fishing and its rare Lowland beauty with the the Highland hills as a backdrop. It is the main venue for National Trout Fly Fishing Championships and is situated 20 minutes west of Stirling and under an hour from Glasgow or Edinburgh. The 700 acre water is stocked with top quality rainbow and brown trout which are reared on site by the company. Fishing is boat only from our fleet of 36 well maintained fifteen foot boats which are supplied with an outboard engine, oars, net and a drogue.

The boat league starts on Wednesday night if you want to join it just email us with your details.
There are fish getting caught everywhere and most are getting caught in the top foot of water, on buzzers, cormorants, Diawl bachs and dries. There has been reports of Sedges and Lake olive hatching.
Ross Wilson and William Brown from Dumfries have been up for a few days having a great time here is one of their fish. Remember to take your antihistamine as we are having a lot of beach pollen.
Warmer weather has arrived at the lake and this has led to an explosion in buzzer hatches. The fish are currently taking full advantage of this.
It was warm and sunny with a brisk E/NE wind today. This did not stop the catch rate and the best boat was Campbell Morgan and Dennis Splaine who had around 60 fish on buzzers in International Bay.
We have now started our short evening sessions and the Cormorants and Fario Fly boat league start next week.
We stock a good selection of flies from Fario Fly in the shop, including the essential buzzers.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.

Lake Data
The Lake fishing is boat only and the venue is popular for dry fly and buzzer fishing, the quality of the stocked and resident trout – and its very large pike. The low lying nature of the Lake and its irregular shape makes for an interesting drift, where shelter is easily found on windy days.
Our large fishery cabin contains a tackle shop and reception area with refreshments available – a great place to relax and discuss your day with fellow fishermen.
For the non-fisherman the area has lots to offer with walking, cycling, shopping and restaurants all within 20 minutes drive, the Lake of Menteith Hotel is next door and on the largest of the Lake’s three islands is the impressive and peaceful ruin of the 13th century Inchmahome Priory and the remains of the Earl of Menteith’s Castle on Inch Talla. The Lake is designated a site of Special Scientific Interest due to the exceptional flora and fauna.
