Fishing Loch Lednock Reservoir in Perth and Kinross, Scotland

• Overview

  Loch Lednock Reservoir lies in Perth and Kinross, in Scotland. Height above sea level is 1,135 feet. The water covers around 314 acres, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. The shoreline runs about 4.1 miles, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. You are 6.8 miles from Comrie. The big place round here is Glasgow, 40 miles distant. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Loch Lednock Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Across Perth and Kinross, recorded fish include brown trout, Atlantic salmon, European eel, northern pike and perch. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The shape of Loch Lednock Reservoir rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 12°C at the top of summer and 1°C at the bottom of winter. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. At Loch Lednock Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lawers Burn at 5.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Loch Lednock Reservoir before loading the car.
