Fishers Pond has been owned by the same family since 1934. In 1976 – the year of the 

drought-ownership was transferred to John Paton who started to create the farm in its present form.

During the 1980’s Fishers Pond was producing a wide variety of fish, including ornamental fish for

the pet trade and hatching salmon eggs to produce smolts for the embryonic salmon farming

industry in Scotland. The site was ideally situated to the production of Carp and by the end of the

decade the farm was dedicated to Carp and course fish production. Many of the largest Carp stocked out across the country are Fishers Pond fish.

The business is now comprised of ponds ranging from 10 acres down to 300m, spread 

over four sites.
