Green Hill Fishery

Tucked into the quiet countryside of Dalbeattie, Greenhill Fishery’s Lily Pad Pool is a purpose-built coarse fishing venue offering a calm, enjoyable setting for pleasure anglers. At ¾ of an acre, this pond may be modest in size but it’s rich in variety, holding Mirror and Common Carp between 2 and 10lb, lively F1s, golden Crucians, Tench up to 4lb, and silver flashes of Rudd. A pair of small islands, depths ranging from 2 to 6 feet, and well-maintained swims make it ideal for float, pole, or method feeder approaches. Access is simple, just a short walk across a level grass field and the setting is natural, peaceful, and well cared for. Fishing is from wooden platforms or spacious chipped banks, and with bait, tackle, and hire gear available on-site, it's easy to turn up and get fishing. Whether you're looking for a few relaxing hours or a full day by the water, Lily Pad Pool offers a rewarding mix of steady bites, scenic views, and proper coarse angling in a welcoming, well-run fishery.

The Island Pool at Greenhill Fishery is a half-acre pond dedicated to catch and keep bait fishing for rainbow trout. Stocked regularly with fish in the 1.5 to 2lb range, it provides a fun, rewarding experience for beginners and younger anglers. The setup is simple and effective, with bubble floats and traditional baits like sweetcorn or worms often producing steady action throughout the day. This pond is ideal for families, first-timers, or anyone looking for an easy and enjoyable introduction to fishing. With a safe, welcoming environment and staff on hand to offer guidance, it’s a great way to build confidence and enjoy quality time outdoors. Advance booking is required, and the team is available daily from 8am to 7pm to help arrange your visit.

The Quarry Pool at Greenhill Fishery provides a dedicated one-acre fly water, offering catch and release fishing for both brown and rainbow trout. Stocked with browns averaging around 1lb and rainbows around 2lb, with a selection of larger fish reaching up to 5lb, it’s a rewarding and accessible venue for fly anglers. The pond ranges from 3 to 5 feet in depth and responds best to floating lines paired with either dry flies or bright wet patterns, particularly effective in the naturally dark, peaty water. Anglers can choose between individual day tickets or book the Quarry Pool for exclusive use, accommodating up to three rods. Half-day and full-day sessions are available throughout the week, with flexible time slots to suit all schedules. Whether you're brushing up on technique or enjoying a quiet day casting in scenic surroundings, Greenhill’s Quarry Pool delivers a quality, relaxed fly fishing experience in the heart of Dumfries and Galloway.
