Salmon Fishing - River Awe Scotland

O. S. Map 50

The character of this once great Scottish salmon river has been much altered by the building, in the nineteen sixties, of the River Awe Barrage, which impounded the waters of the River Awe where it funnels through the Pass of Brander in order to generate electricity. The fishing is not what it used to be but the Awe can still give good sport, particularly in late spring and summer.

The River Awe was once famous for its large salmon, with several over 50 pounds caught on rod and line. Today, the average is nearer ten pounds and a good year might produce around 400 salmon. Sea trout used to be plentiful but are rarely caught in the river now. The river has eight beats and fishing is by fly only. Fish might be caught from April onwards, given good conditions, right to the end of the season in September.

The maps on this website have been reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew. Please note that these maps may date back several decades. Much of the human detail will have changed but the character of the rivers and lochs, and the trout and salmon in them, will be much the same as they have always been.

In addition to the information provided here, I would recommend that anyone planning a fishing or walking trip in Scotland should equip themselves with a compass and the appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most useful of the O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I have given the relevant O.S. Map number.
