Dundee's local water. A Scottish Water reservoir set inside Monikie Country Park ten miles north-east of the city, leased for fishing and managed as a put-and-take rainbow and brown trout fishery. Boat and bank, fly-only, accessible and well-run. The country park setting means you share the reservoir with walkers, picnickers, the occasional kayaker and a great many dog-walking locals who will happily watch you cast for an hour without comment, and then ask if you've caught anything. It is not a wild experience. What it is, for a great many Dundee and Angus anglers, is the water they learned on and still come back to — a reliable evening session and a few fish, and a car park twenty minutes from the front door.
