05/02/2024 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL ANGLERS - PLEASE READ BELOW

THE LILLY LOCH IS CLOSED FOR ALL OF THE 2024 FISHING SEASON

Due to ongoing essential works being carried out by Scottish Canals at the Lilly Loch, we would like to advise all anglers that unfortunately THE LOCH WILL REMAIN CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE ENTIRE 2024 FISHING SEASON - THIS MEANS NO FISHING IS ALLOWED - NO SEASON TICKETS OR DAY TICKETS WILL BE PROVIDED.

The ongoing works have resulted in the areas surrounding the loch being potentially unsafe for anglers and the public, therefore we have taken this decision to remain closed until the works are completed.

The club will provide further information on this website once we have it regarding when fishing will be able to resume, however this will not be during the 2024 season.

We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause for the upcoming season and look forward to welcoming all anglers back for the 2025 fishing season.


Welcome to Lillyloch.co.uk, the website of Clarkston Angling Club.

Since being Established in 1982, we have ran The Lilly Loch, which is located at Hillend, just 10 minutes drive from Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. The loch is a popular trout fishing location amongst many local anglers, and is conveniently situated for those anglers travelling from other areas throughout the central belt by road or rail.

The loch is stocked regularly throughout the season with rainbow trout and can be fished using a number of methods, along with a section of the loch which is dedicated to fly anglers.

We hope that this website provides you with all the information you need about Clarkston Angling Club and fishing at The Lilly Loch, such as how to find us, ticket prices, competition dates and fishing methods. If you have any further questions, please use our Enquiries page, and we will respond to your questions as quickly as possible.

Tight Lines, Clarkston Angling Club.
