Anchor 2

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.

Once renowned for its large brown trout, Linlithgow Loch Fishery is now stocked with rainbow trout, which are regularly released throughout the season. The loch's outstanding feeding conditions ensure the fish grow quickly in weight and condition, offering exceptional sport for anglers. Managed by the Forth Area Federation of Anglers, this fishery is one of the top destinations in West Lothian for trout fishing. Linlithgow Loch Fishery offers 20 boats, including a Wheelyboat for individuals with limited mobility.

Dominated by Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow Loch Fishery is a premier fishing destination in West Lothian.
