Tweeddale Millenium Trout Fisheriesrainbows into high double figures, blues and brown trout. Disabled access on a gravel pathway along one side of the main loch near the fishing lodge. When I fished here I watched all afternoon as people caught their limits while I caught nowt! It happens like that some days, fortunately the day, and my pride, was saved when a fish of 4.5lbs took a Yellow Dancer. Contact Newlands Farm, Gifford, Haddington, EH41 4QW.
