CLUGSTON LOCH
Situated just off the River Bladnoch this recently restocked loch is a great alternative should any of the rivers be running a little low.

HOTEL FACILITIES
On site the hotel has a 16' rod box, freezers, tubing, scales, wader hanging racks and a drying room. Rod and tackle hire are also available locally. £8.00 per hour.
The only thing we can't organise is the weather and all our rivers in South West Scotland are spate rivers, which rise and fall with the rain. We can usually guarantee rain in the early part of the year, February, March and April but the back end is really in the lap of the Gods.
For more information please call 01671 402121 or email info@creebridge.co.uk and we will be happy to advise you on current conditions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bonnie Galloway soon, in the meantime "tight lines".
