Loch Fyntalloch is situated 7 miles North-West of Newton Stewart at the back of Loch Ochiltree.
It is smaller in size than Loch Ochiltree but the fishing is just as good, with fish no less than
1lb 8ozs in weight, providing great sport for those who are lucky enough to make contact with one.
Loch Fyntalloch fishes well all round and there are no 'hot spots' as such.
The bottom is peat and the use of gold heads can be deadly.
The loch takes mood swings and some days you will keep landing fish, and others nothing.
Be persistant on here and it will pay off!
The fishing available is :
Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Pike and Perch and is fly fishing only.
The season is from March 15th to Oct 6th.
Permits can be obtained from :
