Sea Trout Fishing in Scotland River Ythan
|
O.S. Map 38
The River Ythan rises from the Wells of Ythan, at
the eastern end of Strathbogie, and flows the thirty odd miles
eastwards to enter the North Sea, via a four mile long estuary at
Newburgh. It is on the estuary that the fishing is concentrated,
with anything up to around 2000 sea trout, and a small number of
salmon, are taken each year.

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. |
Sea Trout Fishing on the River Ythan
The fishing on the estuary was leased on a timeshare
basis a number of years ago - a great loss to both the local community
and the visiting angler generally. The local angling club at Newburgh
still has access to a limited area but the best of the fishing is
generally inaccessible. It fishes well from late May onwards, peaking in
July.
