Loch Lyon Fishing in Perth and Kinross, Scotland

• Overview

  Within Perth and Kinross, Scotland, you have Loch Lyon. It sits in rolling hill. At 1,001 acres this is proper open water rather than a pond. Around 13 miles of bank, which is a long day on foot. You are 25 miles from Callander. Comrie is 26 miles away, with Fort William at 28 miles. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Loch Lyon

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name brown trout, Atlantic salmon and European eel. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Loch Lyon gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 11°C and February at 1°C. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on Loch Lyon rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a reservoir by origin, with the deepest water near the dam. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Local rules can differ across the area boundary, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Loch Daimh at 5.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Loch Lyon should be assumed from this page alone.
