Fontburn Reservoir is a popular fishery known for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for families looking to enjoy a day of fishing together. Despite its size, Fontburn offers exceptional trout fishing experiences for anglers using fly or any method. In addition to trout, the reservoir is also home to a healthy population of roach, providing an excellent opportunity for coarse anglers to test their skills. One of the standout features of Fontburn Reservoir is its dedication to catering to disabled anglers, with a dedicated platform available on the north shore to ensure that everyone can enjoy the fishing experience. For those looking for a bit of adventure, exploring the less-frequented middle and western sections of the reservoir can lead to exciting fishing encounters, especially when the trout are widely dispersed. All of the fish stocked in Fontburn Reservoir come from their own onsite fish farm, ensuring that the fish populations are of high quality and healthy. Some of the stocked fish are even tagged, giving anglers the chance to win cash prizes. Anglers are also allowed to use loose feed and ground bait around the reservoir to enhance their fishing experience and attract more fish. On-site, anglers can find an excellent lodge shop that caters to all their fishing needs. From rods and reels to tackle, accessories, clothing, worms, bait, and even ice creams and refreshments, including hot and cold drinks, the shop has everything anglers might need for a successful day of fishing at Fontburn Reservoir.
