There are few better pastimes than fly fishing for trout, and few better places for it than the fishing pools of Kingennie Fishings, near Dundee, Scotland.

Kingennie has trout fishing (rainbow, blue, brown), with bait and fly-fishing on five well-stocked pools year-round. Catches vary according to the season and pool, from fighting trout of 1lb to 'old and cunning' fish of over 15lbs. We also have coarse fishing on our Blawearie Basin pool, which holds a variety of perch over 3lb and roach over 2lb. The pools have fishing piers and some grass banking. Kingennie Fishings attracts around 10,000 anglers each year. Stocking takes place weekly.

Forbes of Kingennie are the proud main sponsors for the Scottish Youth Fly Fishing Team. Mike Forbes himself a former National Fly Fishing Champion and Captain of the Senior Scottish International Fly Fishing Team is passionate about youth fishing and promoting the sport to the younger generation.

Members of the Team qualify for selection at a two day, boat competition in the Autumn of each year (closing date for applications is June) with the International being held in July the following year.

Membership of the Team requires commitment to 2 residential week-ends, 6-8 formal training days, team work, a willingness to learn & practise, practise, practise.

I would like to express the appreciation of our Club after our recent fishing outing to Kingennie. We found the facilities, the arrangements and catering absolutely first class and would like to thank all involved for making our outing an outstanding success.

I feel sure I can speak on behalf of the whole group when I say that the weekend from start to finish was absolutely amazing. Not to mention my two and a half pound catch, which tasted delightful when we had it for our evening meal on Monday.

On behalf of all who attended the ‘Casting for Recovery’ weekend, we wanted to say a huge thank you for making it the success it was. Everybody's efforts were very much appreciated. We will be back to improve our skills and catch lots of fish, you have been warned!

I have just spent the weekend at the fly fishing retreat. Thank you both for giving us such a fabulous time, I loved the whole thing. The staff went out of their way to provide help and support, nothing was too much trouble, and accommodation was of a very high standard.
