Welcome To The Bearsden Angling Club Website
Interested in fly fishing for Wild Trout? Then we could be the club for you, whether new to the sport of fly fishing or a seasoned veteran you'll be made very welcome. Founded in 1958 by the anglers of Bearsden and Milngavie, we are a friendly bunch, passionate about the pursuit of Trout fishing. Our home water is 'Loch Humphrey' which nestles in the Kilpatrick hills, not far from Old Kilpatrick. Our best kept secrets is the head of naturalised trout the loch now supports. When a hatch is on of a summers evening the 'rise' has to be seen to be believed! Traditional loch style fishing prevails typically from the bank although we have two 12' boats and a boathouse, should members wish to try their luck on open water.
Boat
Our club has boats and a boat house for our members to use as they wish. This gives easier access along the west shores.
Competitions
We have four anual competitions through out the year. prizes are won at each competition.
Outings
We go on lots of official and non offical outings in beautiful and thriving locations. Although we love out fly fishing during outings we get a chance to try our hand at coarse and sea species as well as trout
Litter Picking
We like to keep our waters and surrounding areas clean and tidy. We do regular litter picks usualy on competition days
Vehicle Access
We are the only angling club in the kilpatrick hills that has car access. Its ideal if physical tasks are a challenge in anyway as you can drive right to our waters edge.
Amazing Views
Views across the whole of ayrshire to ailsa craig (paddys mile stone)
