The Luss Water is a scenic Scottish river in Dunbartonshire, flowing through attractive countryside with a mix of pool and run habitat. It offers good sport for trout and salmon anglers, with a relatively intimate feel due to its modest 12.2km length. The river benefits from stable flows and good water quality in its lower stretches.

The statutory close season on Luss Water runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Luss Water are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
