Ballo is the Lomond Hills reservoir above Leslie — a small, sheltered water managed as a stocked fishery, tucked in the shadow of the hills with the kind of quiet character you don't expect from a Scottish Water asset. It's stocked with rainbows and the occasional brown, fished from the bank and from a small number of boats, and the fishing tends to be steady rather than spectacular. What Ballo offers is proximity — a stillwater within half an hour of Glenrothes and Kirkcaldy that fishes reliably enough for an evening after work. On a summer dusk with the swallows working the surface, it can fish very well indeed.
