Salmon Fishing in Scotland River Cree
|
O.S. Map 83
The Cree runs from Loch Moan to the Solway Firth
below Newton Stewart. Afforestation in its upper course has led to a
faster run off after rain and increased acidification, both of which
have an adverse effect on the fishing. Nevertheless, salmon and sea
trout can still be taken in the lower section of the river, which
has some good fly fishing water.

Salmon Fishing on the River Cree
The West Galloway
Fisheries Trust is making efforts to improve the river habitat to halt
the decline in stocks of migratory fish. Recent sport has been confined
to the lower 8 miles of river, from its confluence with the Minnoch to
its outfall in Wigtown Bay. Annual catches have fallen in recent times,
from around 400 salmon in the late eighties to an average of around 200
today. The most productive months are September and October. Newton
Stewart Angling Club makes fishing available to visitors.

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. See Ordnance
Survey Maps |
