Canal fishing in Scotland? Yes, at Broom Fisheries, Scotland's premier angling facility. Sitting on the bank of our purpose built canal, it is easy to forget that you are on a commercial fishery. Many anglers come here just to fish the canal because it has an atmosphere of natural peace and tranquility. The canal is 4ft deep and has an average width of 18 metres, so it is a great place for pole fishing and method feeding. Best baits here are pellets, paste , and sweetcorn. The canal is heavily stocked with carp and is home to some of our biggest fish.

This coarse fishing water has 21 peaceful pegs to fish from and is home to the following species of fish:

• Common Carp - These have an even, regular scale pattern, and often grow into double figures.
• Bream - A full bodied fish which is often nicknamed "dustbin lid" or "slab". Young bream are called "skimmers"
• Tench - An extremely distinctive fish, with a high, convex dorsal fin and a wide caudal fin. Releases tiny bubbles when feeding on the bottom
• Mirror Carp - Biologically like common carp, but they have irregular scale patterns which can make them unique.
