Welcome to Linlithgow Loch
Fishery
Established in 1958, the Forth Area Federation of Anglers is run by a group of volunteers who have a passion for angling. The Federation assumed responsibility for fishing on Linlithgow Loch in 1962.
Dominated by Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow Loch Fishery is a premier fishing destination in West Lothian. Once renowned for its large brown trout, it is stocked with rainbow trout, which are regularly released throughout the season. The loch's excellent feeding conditions ensure the fish grow rapidly in weight and condition, offering exceptional sport for anglers. Linlithgow Loch Fishery is arguably one of the best trout fisheries in West Lothian. Linlithgow Loch Fishery offers 20 boats, including a Wheelyboat for individuals with limited mobility.
The diary is open for 2026 and we respectfully suggest that to avoid disappointment in securing your preferred date, all booking requests should be emailed as soon as possible using the Bookings form.
