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.

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Ythan
Much of 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. Day permits may occasionally be
available when the time-shared beats are not in use. The local angling club at Newburgh
still has access to a limited area. It fishes well from late May onwards, peaking in
July.

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
