Fishing in Dumfries and Galloway

We have a leaflet at the Park listing most local fishings, however.....

Coarse Fishing is available 2 miles away at the Barean Loch in Dalbeattie Forest. Access to this is by foot or bike through the forest, or by car and a ½ mile walk from Colvend. This loch has some fine pike. Between Dalbeattie & Dumfries just 15 minutes away Cowans Loch is known for its Carp, Tench and Roach.

Salmon, Trout and Sea Trout may all be found in the river Urr which flows through Kippford. It is a beautiful river with an active Angling Association. To the east, the Nith and Annan, or to the west the Dee, Fleet and Cree all offer further sport.

Tackle Shop McCowans & Sons in Dalbeattie (01556 610270) sells a good range of tack & licences, and will provide detailed information on the above and other fishing available in the area.
