Fishing Mill Dam
Re: Fishing Mill Dam
I see the Mill Glen has now been drained and the fish relocated to the Busbie. Sad times.
Re: Fishing Mill Dam
That is sad news, was hoping to get down for a fish again.
It would be good to see what is like drained see how dep it was.

Re: Fishing Mill Dam
I think I'd be up there not looking for fish, but for curling stones which were lost during the thaws over the many years they've played the curling game there.
Here's an old curling topic, and in particular this post with a couple of photos from the Mill pond: viewtopic.php?p=100945#p100945

Re: Fishing Mill Dam
We fished the Mill Dam often when I was a teenager as well as Whitlees and the Busby. Before we were able to get a season ticket, we used to buy daily or weekly permits from Mrs Cliff at the Millglen Filter House. Campbell
Re: Fishing Mill Dam
The Mill as the season went on was hard to fish due to all the weed. Thought is was shallower that in looked.
Never caught anything like a 3lb fish they got when moving the fish.

Some perch too. They should have taken those to Ardeer rec pond or Eglinton loch. I’d like to think they didn’t just let them perish.johndo wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 4:44 pm Found this , looks like a few fish were still in it and a few big ones.

Re: Fishing Mill Dam
Never heard of a Perch getting caught when I fished it.
