Membership of Glasgow University Angling Club is available to all categories of University staff.

The Angling Club has received support by the Ferguson Bequest. Professor Thomas Ferguson (1900-1977), Henry Mechan Chair of public health (1944-1964), bequeathed his estate to the University, with the instruction that the money should be used to foster the social side of University life.

Members of the club have access to a stocked trout loch which has two well maintained boats (limited membership)and two hill lochs containing brown trout. In addition, our angling club members can fish for salmon and sea-trout on loch and rivers. Outings to other lochs and rivers are arranged by the club Secretary. A trophy is presented to the angler who records the best catch from one of these venues.
