Dargavel Burn is a small Scottish stream known for its quick-flowing character and rocky substrate, typical of lowland burns in the central belt. The burn offers modest but consistent opportunities for trout fishing, particularly in pools and slower sections along its 10.9km length. Best fished during higher water conditions when fish are more active and willing to take flies.
