Comrie Angling Club
Comrie Angling Club leases fishing on several miles of the rivers Earn and Ruchill in the vicinity of Comrie (see Maps page for more details). It also controls the lower stretch of the River Lednock (down to the junction with the Earn), but this water is held as a reserve for Salmon, and angling is not permitted.

Fishing is available for Salmon, Seatrout, Brown Trout and Grayling, and there are also some Rainbow Trout in the Club waters - these are escapees from fish farms, and we ask that any Rainbows caught are killed, irrespective of size, to help preserve the native fish. Fly fishing is permitted, as is spinning, and, subject to some restrictions (see the Rules page), worming and maggot fishing. The rivers are largely in their natural state, which makes for a highly enjoyable angling experience, and, particularly from August onwards, the water can be very productive. The best fish taken last season (2010) were a Salmon of 19 lb, a Seatrout of 6lb 8oz, and a Brown Trout of 3lb 8oz.

Memberships are available, as are day tickets - see the appropriate page for further details.

We would ask anglers who have fished abroad recently to take particular care about disinfecting their equipment before fishing here, to avoid infection with the parasite Gyrodactylus Salaris, which has caused mayhem in many rivers in Scandinavia and beyond.
