Forfar Loch

 Partly drained in the 18th-century, when the loch was lowered by 5m (16 feet) in depth and 1 mile (1½ km) in length Forfar Loach is situated to the west end of the town. The loch is recovering from state of being highly polluted from the local canning factory (now closed), the local sewage works (now upgraded) and several industries situated on the outskirts of the town.

The loch hold a resident population of brown trout and some substantial pike. Fishing is by fly only from the bank. A two trout limit is placed on the loch on a daily basis with catch and release being encouraged. It is hoped however all anglers will fish catch and release for all fish caught. Those who have killed fish for the table have indicated that the culinary qualities of the flesh leaves much to be desired.

Dead baiting for pike is allowed between November and February on the North Bank only, any trout being caught must be returned to the loch

The loch is not currently stocked by the club and all fishing is done via the bank. Wading in the loch while in some places is safe is not to be advised, the bottom gas substantial 'sinks' and silted up areas. Later in the season the weed growth hampers fishing with some pretty slimy horrible weed fouling the flies. Life vests should be worn when wading.
