So called because it is surrounded by Birch trees, this fly fishing loch is a haven of peace and tranquility only a few minutes from the motorway. With easy access from the M6 and M74, Broom Fisheries game fishing waters are a regular haunt for fly fishermen from Scotland, Cumbria, and the North east of England

in 2007 over £7,200 was raised at this venue by anglers fishing for Macmillan Cancer Support, and many clubs hold regular fishing competitions here, so there is something for everyone, whether you want competitive fishing or just a quiet time away from it all enjoying the scenery and the pleasure of stalking the fish. Broom waters are re-stocked continually throughout the year ensuring great catching opportunities in all seasons.

This fly fishing water has 19 pegs to fish from and is home to the following species of fish:

• Rainbow Trout - Brightly coloured trout in tip top condition
• Blue TroutThis fish has a beautiful blue hue across its back, and is one of the strongest, most exciting trout you can hook.
• Brown Trout - The most common trout found in Scotland. The brown trout at the Broom are a lot bigger than those often caught in the wild.
• Golden Trout - The pale colour of the skin on this fish makes it easy to see in the water, but it is very wily and catching one is a great achievement.
• Tiger Trout - This cross between a brook trout and a brown trout has distinctive tiger-like markings, making it one of the most beautiful fish in UK waters
