Rescobie sits a few miles east of Forfar, a broad low-ground loch that has been a stalwart of Angus fly fishing for as long as anyone can remember. Stocked with rainbows and the occasional brown, boat-fished the loch-style way along the drifts, it has quietly hosted more club competitions than most venues twice its size. The setting is unremarkable — flat Angus farmland, a line of trees along the southern shore — but the fishing is consistent and the fish are honest. The kind of venue that doesn't make the glossy magazines but has been working quietly for decades. Worth the drive from Dundee for a traditional Scottish stillwater experience without the trip west into Perthshire.
