- Conieglen River is a small West coast spate River.To reach it head through Campbeltown towards Machrihanish & take the turnoff at Stewarton for Southend. Pennygowan is where you cross a humped backed bridge on the road, you can fish from here to the sea Approx 5 miles.
- Permits are from Kintyre Angling Club and are available from A.P.MacGrorys in Campbeltown. The River is fly only except when it is in spate, when you can use a spinner or worm. There are areas where the fly is near impossible to fish the fly & bait fishing is not frowned upon when the fly cannot be fished.If you are bait fishing a pool give way to anglers fishing the fly.
- I've marked the main pools on the map to give you a good start.Please remember for a good chance of a Salmon or Sea trout you need a bit of rain.Fish the River the day after rain as the water runs off quickly.
- Brown Trout can also be caught but these are usually small. There are exceptions though, I've seen a Brown Trout of 2lbs taken when the water was in good condition.
- Small size 10 or 12 trebles seem to do well on Coniglen as they do in a lot of small rivers. Try an Ally's or an Apache shrimp.
- Some parts of the river are out of bounds, I've marked these on the map. Please avoid walking through these areas, basically avoid fishing the bank on that side, by all means fish the bank from the opposite side. Fishing above Pennygowan is not allowed.
- Day ticket £12.50.
- Visitors 2 week all waters ticket £60
