Harelaw is a large shallow reservoir constructed in 1844 and located on the south-western side of Glasgow, to the south of Neilston, and close to Paisley. The trout fishing reservoir is also home to a good number of roach and perch. It covers 102 acres and features more than three miles of superb wading banks, four dam walls, and three islands.
With water reaching a maximum depth of 13 feet, a depth range that averages between 5 and 9 feet means that you can find fish nearly anywhere on the fishery. Because of its moorland setting, Harelaw is home to a wide diversity of birds and other animals.
Harelaw provides boat or bank anglers fishing with some of the best top-water fishing available anywhere in Scotland. The islands, small coves, and peninsulas provide excellent drifting and wading opportunities.
