  1. Duddinston Loch in Holyrood Park I think...
  2. Hogganfield Loch has some really good carp, Lanark Loch if you dont mind a drive, Broadwood Loch in Cumbernauld, Monklands Canal in Coatbridge, Forth & Clyde Canal all hold fairly tough carp. The ones at Hogganfield can be tempted into taking mixers so you`d maybe have a good chance with a deerhair `mixer` ?? cheers
  3. You say "and anglers" - do you mean that no-one should fish in winter ? or summer ? So according to what you say, what should we not fish for; and at what times of the year; and why ??
  4. sorry Andy it was Monklands Canal in Coatbridge, not the Forth & Clyde... thanks for the info though; as my name suggests I`m up there a few times also !! a1424 thanks also - yeah think its a water that needs to heat up a bit for sport to get going - I`ve been up with my fishfinder and nothing is really moving about. What p*sses me off is the debris and rubbish you need to contend with in a lot of swims - Up next to the golf course there are 2 cars submerged in 4ft of water !! Also someone told me that there was a 20lb pike moved there from Johnston Loch in Gartcosh (boat-only trout water), I`ve seen plenty if tiny jacks but no biggies yet tho. all the best guys
  5. Hey guys, new on the forum here... Anyways, I`m currently fishing the Monklands Canal in Coatbridge - I fished there also when I was younger and caught many of the small Carp/Perch/Roach that had been stocked there in the mid-80s. I started back there last year after a big break from fishing and had some success (1lb Roach, 15lb Carp, etc), but was just wondering if anyone on here knows any more about it?? I`ve noticed it mentioned in a few threads from years ago, I`m there about once a week and most times I`m fishing it I`m the only guy there !! I know some fish were supposedly removed from the canal & put in Wychwood pond next to the flats in Townhead, but last year in the summer I seen countless shoals of decent roach/hybrids and some good double-figure Carp going through the spawning rituals. anyone any good info?? cheers
