Fishery Information
Lanark Loch is a public park lake of about twenty acres located next to the racecourse on the edge of Lanark. It was the first water in Scotland to receive significant stocks of modern mirror carp. The lake has experienced a massive fish kill in the past, but the Scottish Carp Group (SCG) has invested heavily in restocking the loch. Lanark Loch has tench, including specimens over 6lbs, a large head of roach to specimen sizes, perch, and a few pike. The lake operates on a catch and release basis, and night fishing is allowed only for SCG members and Lanark-only season ticket holders.
