Monikie Angling Club provides fly fishing for brown and rainbow trout in two ponds – they’re known as ponds but are huge loch-size stretches of water – the Island Pond and the North Pond. The bailiff’s hut (complete with tea, coffee and microwave facilities) is located beside the Island Pond.

Boats are available to members and visitors including visiting clubs. Boats can be booked by calling the Bailiff hut on 01382 370300.

Anglers are welcome to use their own electric outboard motors, but none are available for hire.

Please note it is fly fishing only. No bank fishing is permitted. Only club boats can be used, and no anchoring is permitted. Also, anglers must wear lifejackets, provided by the club, at all times while on the water.

Parking, including two disabled bays, is available beside the hut.

Flowing from the Braes of Angus into the wide valley of Strathmore, the South Esk meanders eastwards past Brechin before entering Montrose Basin, through which it flows outwards to the North Sea by a narrow channel between Montrose and Ferryden.

During the summer the South Esk is one of the best sea trout rivers in Scotland. With the right weather conditions salmon runs are good in the spring and excellent in the autumn. The river is some forty nine miles (79km) long with superb fishing from Glen Clova down to Montrose Basin where it then enters the sea.
