Frandy is a fly fishing upland reservoir based in the picturesque Ochil hills on Gleneagles Estate, Perthshire. Fly fishing for rainbow, brown & blue trout in Scotland at its very best.

The reservoir is well known for its scenic beauty and wide and varied bird life, including Osprey, Buzzard, Hen Harrier, Peregrine Falcon, Merlin and Red Kite. Part of the reservoir’s attraction is its feeling of remoteness although it is still very accessible, being just 45 minutes by road from both Edinburgh and Glasgow, and 20 minutes from both Stirling and Perth. The reservoir is stocked on a weekly basis with a policy of more fish going in than out throughout the season with very high quality Rainbows, Browns, and Blues, all of which are female and triploid and complement the indigenous Brown trout population very well.

With a maximum depth of over 100 ft, shallowing off in many heather-clad bays to between 2 and 8 ft, the fishing is often very visual with an abundance of terrestrial insects.
