Welcome
to the home of the Monikie Angling Club. If you are looking for some of the best
trout fishing in the East of Scotland, then you've come to the right place.
Monikie Angling Club was formed in 1976 and is located in
Monikie and Crombie Country Parks which are just a few miles outside of Dundee.
Other than the fishing, the parks are administered by the
Angus Council and provide a large variety of facilities.
The Club provides fly fishing for stocked
brown and rainbow
trout in three ponds spread between the two
parks; with the bailiff's hut (complete with tea, coffee and microwave
facilities) being located in Monikie Park. There are a total of 21 boats
available (11 on the Island, 6 on the North and 4 on Crombie) to members and visitors; including visiting clubs. Anglers are welcome
to use their own electric outboard motors, but none are available for hire.
In Monikie
Country Park fishing is available for both brown and rainbow trout on the Island Pond,
and for rainbow trout only on the North Pond. The fishing at Crombie Country Park is for brown trout only.
Please note that on all ponds it is fly fishing only and
no bank
fishing is permitted.

There are no
monsters in Monikie waters, last season's heaviest fish weighed in at 6lb 12oz,
but one thing that is
certain about Monikie's fish, they are all
high quality, fully finned, hard fighting trout.

To paraphrase a well
know TV advert, club members widely consider Monikie to be:
"Probably
the best value fishing in Scotland".
