Salmon Fishing in Scotland River Earn
|
O.S. Maps 52, 58
Originating in Loch
Earn, the River Earn flows eastwards to join the Tay estuary south
of Perth. It is swollen by several tributaries on its way, the most
notable being the Water of Ruchill, which is one of the few
tributaries unaffected by either Hydro-electric schemes or water
extraction. An attractive medium sized river, the Earn offers trout,
grayling, sea trout and salmon fishing throughout its length, some
through fishing clubs like those in Crieff, Comrie, Auchterarder and
Dunning.

Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River Earn
|
Access, however, to the salmon and sea
trout fishing on the Earn is far from straightforward, with around 40
riparian owners throughout its length. The Earn has a late salmon run,
mainly in September and October. Sea trout are worth pursuing from May
onwards, although numbers have declined dramatically in recent seasons.
A normal year would now see in the region of 600 sea trout caught
throughout the river and a similar number of salmon. Grayling fishing
can be had throughout the river from November to January, on both club
water and estate water. Permits for the Crieff AC water are available
from Adam Boyd of King Street, Crieff. Dupplin Estates at Forteviot
issue trout and grayling permits. Permits are also available for trout
salmon and grayling fishing at Kinkell Bridge, near Auchterarder.

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
