What tactics work well?
There are various tactics that work well at Clubbiedean, including wet, dry, nymph, or lure fishing. Floating or sinking lines can be used, and stalking is possible on the south bank.

Bait fishing is available using ledgered weight or floats, with worms, maggots, or wasp grubs working very well.

Facilities at Clubbiedean include permits from as little as £15, rowing boats available for hire, rod hire, bait, basic tackle, tea/coffee, and a WC. There are boats with anchors and safety jackets for fly fishing, and bait fishing is available only from the bank.
