With all the record rain fall we had last season, 2012 was another fantastic year for carrick angling club with anglers reporting record catches. Visiting anglers, from all over, had great sport on the clubs waters, double figure fish being reported There was also a 70% return on fish on club waters which is excellent news for the whole catchment of the river Girvan
For a very reasonable charge, a good part of the river Girvan is available to fish; from the estuary to three miles inland. Our well stocked reservoir is open all year round and produces good fighting trout for all our fly fishing anglers. The Club offers river and still water fishing to everyone, irrespective of age and ability. Salmon and Trout fishing is available. If you want to hire tackle then contact the people below...
We work closely with the Ayrshire Rivers Trust, they supply info on our river, have a look at their website.
The club has a car park for easy access for all to get to the river safely. We also have a platform suitable for the needs of disabled anglers so that they can enjoy the art of angling. We have single bank fishing and double bank fishing, for salmon /sea trout and wild brown trout. We also have a well stocked reservoir with rainbow trout and blue trout, fly fishing only, to suit all anglers needs .
Camreggan beat has been restored with a shored up banking and a hand railed footpath put in place. All can enjoy easy access to this part of the river and see the wildlife that the club has to offer.
The clubs new project is to create a new fishery in the near future.
Carrick angling club’s committee wish all anglers and visitors all the best on a relaxing days fishing on our part of the river Girvan....

Found in the river - A Stone Loachestone loach

Stone Loaches -a common fish in clear rivers and streams. They live amongst the gravel and stones of fast flowing water where they can search for food.

The most distinctive feature of this 14 cm fish is the presence of barbels around the bottom jaw, which they use to detect their invertebrate prey. The body is a mixture of brown, green and yellow.

They live on the bottom, often partly buried, and they are particularly active at night.
