but does anyone know if there is any Bass fishing in Scottland and if so how is it?

The only dumb question is one not asked  

I suggest you send a PM to our International member Vyron he used to live in the UK

but does anyone know if there is any Bass fishing in Scottland and if so how is it?

There were a couple of introductions of largemouth bass in southeast England, and as far as I know they still survive at one spot there. I have no information on any attempt to introduce either largemouth or smallmouth in Scotland. You would be better off to set out for pike or loch brownies....

Not likely to be over there anytime soon, unless I win the lotery which would be a miracle since I never play.  But I will make it over there someday and this question has been bugging me.

I was in Scotland about three years ago. As always, I was trying to find tackle shops, etc.. The only thing I found was info on those nasty trout

Lots of fly fishing items, but I did not see anything bass related. I was in Edinburg. Don't know if that helps or not.

Do you know where exactly this spot is and are any bass caught? Or is this a private lake?

I have three references.

The first was "Hamlyn's Field Guide to the freshwater fish of Britain and Europe", from around 1985. That's where I first wrote that Largemouth bass were introduced to the UK. I believe it mentions when and where. Unfortunately, I borrowed that book many years ago to the guy with "that" photo, and now neither me nor any serious Cypriot angler speaks to him, so I can't get it back....

The second was in an issue of "Coarse Angler" from around 1988 or so. Unfortunately I do no longer have that magazine, and for this one I have no clue what happenned to it

The third reference I still have it. It's Barrie Rickards' book "Angling: Fundamental Principles" Boydell Press 1986. Bass are listed as an established species on page 228, then on page 235 he mentions that "[bass] are very localised".

I wish I could give you more info. Most details I remember were in the Coarse Angler issue. There is a slight chance that magazine might well be in my holiday apartment in Larnaca. If i find it I'll let you know....

Thanks CyBasser! 8-)
