Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River Deveron
|
The river Deveron
rises in the hills near Strathdon in Aberdeenshire and, after being
joined by the Blackwater, flows north east to Huntly, where it is joined
by the River Bogie. The Deveron then winds its way for a further 20
miles though rich farmland to reach Turriff and then on through its
lowermost section to Banff on the north Buchan coast. The Deveron is a
spate river, relying on snow melt at the start of the season and regular
rain through the rest of the season, to give of its best. The Deveron
has excellent fly water through most of its length. The Spring fishing
can be worthwhile but the main runs come in September and October, with
sea trout fishing at its best in June and July. Fishing is available
throughout the river, although the best beats between Huntly and Turriff
are generally booked well in advance. Turriff Angling Association also
makes its water available to visiting anglers. |

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 |
