Angling in the rivers, lochs and fisheries in Ayrshire

Fishing in Ayrshire is predominantly wild loch fishing but commercial fisheries offer trout, carp and coarse angling.

The county has several excellent salmon rivers and some fantastic trout fishing for wild brown and rainbow trout. Fishing is generally available all year round with many lochs stocked on a weekly basis.

Local angling clubs in Ayrshire are a great source of information about the angling in the area and they often provide day tickets or permits for coarse and fly fishing. Whether you are looking to cast a fly from a drifting boat or bait fishing from the banks of lovely wild loch you can be assured of fishing for some of the hardest fighting fish in Scotland.

Sea fishing is available along the Ayrshire coast from the beaches, harbour piers or from trips in charter boats. The best place for information about booking trips with boat captains or productive angling areas along the coast is from local tackle and bait shops.
The usual common types of sea fish caught in the waters of the coast of Ayrshire are : Atlantic Cod, Pollack, Coalfish, Rays, Tope, Skate, Bass, Mackerel, Dogfish, Flatfish etc.
