Fishing
We have extensive river fishings on the Rivers Dee, Don, Ythan and Feugh, and also two stillwater fisheries. More photos can be found on the gallery page.
Our Rivers & Lochs
We have extensive river fishings on the Rivers Dee, Don, Ythan and Feugh. Between them, these waters offer superb game fishing for Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout.
We also have stillwater fishing on the Loch of Loirston and Millpond Fishery, both stocked with Blues & Rainbows.
Visitors & Day tickets
Visiting anglers can buy day or weekly tickets from the ADAA shop for most of our waters.
River Ythan
We have extensive fishings on the River Ythan and these include the tidal Machar Pool and inland waters around Methlick & Ardlethen. Once the premier sea trout river in Britain, known for it’s large sea trout and salmon, the Ythan remains a unique and rewarding venue on which to pursue these migratory fish.
River Feugh
The Feugh begins high in the Forest of Birse, to the south of Aboyne and flows through some of the most scenic areas in Aberdeenshire before joining the River Dee at Banchory.
The River Feugh is a spate river and is an important tributary of the River Dee which is well known for the salmon leaping at the Falls of Feugh.
