Coarse Fishing in Scotland - The Donut Loch at Broom Fisheries
Fish for Koi carp, ghost koi, common carp, bream, tench, mirror carp, roach, chub, and perch on The Donut loch

The Donut coarse fishing loch at Broom Fisheries, Scotland's premier angling facility, got its name because of its unusual shape. It boasts an island and lots of features plus plenty of marginal shelter for the fish, making it an excellent water for beginners and seasoned anglers alike. The Donut fishing loch, together with the Canal and the Square, is home to some of our biggest fish.

This coarse fishing water has 15 pegs to fish from and is home to the following species of fish:

  • Koi - These uniquely marked fish thrive in Broom waters and often swim in margin shoals. Catching koi carp is an exhilirating experience.
  • Bream - A full bodied fish which is often nicknamed "dustbin lid" or "slab". Young bream are called "skimmers"
  • Common Carp - These have an even, regular scale pattern, and often grow into double figures.
  • Chub - A very shiny fish with an incredibly large mouth.
  • Mirror Carp - Biologically like common carp, but they have irregular scale patterns which can make them unique.
  • Tench - An extremely distinctive fish, with a high, convex dorsal fin and a wide caudal fin. Releases tiny bubbles when feeding on the bottom
  • Roach - Beautiful silver fish - takes a wide range of bait. The roach is extremely popular with UK anglers.
  • Perch - Handsome striped fish with bright orange/red pelvic fins.
  • Ghost Carp - Ghosties have become popular amongst fishing enthusiasts in Britain since their introduction in the 1980s. They have a fast growth rate and are a very healthy species.
