Eaglesham Angling Association
The Eaglesham Angling Association was founded at 6:30pm on Wednesday 15th November 1961 in a garage/hut in Eaglesham. There were 27 persons at this meeting some of whom still have an active involvement with the club.
The Association was originally called the Eaglesham Angling Club but due to a clash with the initials with Erskine Angling Club it changed its name to the Eaglesham Angling Association in February 1962. At the start the Association had no waters but in 1963 were allowed limited rods on the Picket and Loch Goin with the syndicate. In 1967 it obtained the sole rights to the fish on the Picket and Loch Goin, replacing the syndicate. In 1977 the Association acquired the right to fish Corsehouse Reservoir.
Picklaw Reservoir
Picklaw Reservoir is situated within the village of Eaglesham, is the smallest of the three waters. It has a well-kept boathouse with two boats, that can be used by any adult members, and junior members with adult accompaniment.
Limited fishing can be done from the bank, and is therefore much better fished from the boat.
The water is clear most of the time; has plenty of shingle and plant-life in the water that support an abundance of caddis and dragon flies. It is much more sheltered than the other two waters and is a pleasure to fish dry fly, especially in the summer months.
Loch Goin
Loch Goin, on the Fenwick Moor, and is the largest of the three waters. It is situated within the Whitelee Wind Farm and provides great fishing throughout the season. It has a well-kept boat house and three boats on the water, that can be used by any adult members, and junior members with adult accompaniment.
It's an excellent water to fish from the bank, but due to the size of the water many anglers fish close to the bank or on one of the three boats.
The water is peaty and slightly acidic but has plenty of insect life, especially in the summer months. It's an excellent water to fish with nymphs, buzzers and small lures. Dark, sparsely dressed fly patterns seem to be most popular.
Corsehouse Reservoir
Corsehouse Reservoir, situated close to Stewarton, is another large water. It has a well-kept boat house and four boats on the water, that can be used by any adult members, and junior members with adult accompaniment.
The water is peaty and slightly acidic but has an abundance of insect life as can be seen by the condition of the fish. It's a great water to be fished all over in the boat and from the bank and often provides some good sized fish.
