Lothians carp fishery closing

The owner of Selmmuir Carp has confirmed he is closing the fishery near Livingston permanently.

Lee Brodie informed anglers in a post on the fishery Facebook page at lunchtime on October 11.

He said: “The site is now residential only and will remain as my home. I will honour all bookings for credits that are left until credits are used up as there’s not many left. Any bookings currently in place for October will also be honoured.”

Brodie added: “I know this is sad news for some, but I have served my time in the fishing sector and now moving on with new life prospects.”

The social media page will close soon, he added, and the post indicated that there is no bait left on the premises and no toilets available on site as they have been removed.
