Stirling Fisheries
38 minute walk from Stirling station · Stirling, Central and Fife
Stirling Fisheries offers a historic angling experience on the River Forth, managed by the local community to ensure its longevity. This beautiful fishery provides double-bank access across two primary beats, the Forth and the Teith, which have provided great sport for hundreds of years.
The site is significant for its stunning scenery, featuring the iconic backdrops of Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. It is a productive destination throughout the year, famously hosting "The Honey Pot"—a pool once recognized as the most productive beat in Scotland.
Visitors can enjoy fly and spin fishing for salmon, sea trout, and brown trout amidst well-maintained facilities. The grounds include manicured paths, rod racks, seating, and specialized platforms, with certain areas designed for wheelchair access to ensure a comfortable experience in the heart of Scotland.
