Anglers from all over the world visit the North East of Scotland to fish for salmon on the rivers Spey, Dee, Don and Deveron, but not so much is known about the excellent trout fishing to be found in the Aberdeenshire area.

The River Don is a great salmon and sea trout river, but it also offers some first class brown trout fishing which you can explore in the "River Don" section of the website.

The "River Don" section includes fishing beat information, useful tactics and flies to help you to tempt one of these beautiful trout.

The rainbow trout fisheries in Aberdeenshire are some of the best in Scotland, offering quality, hard fighting fish in some beautiful locations.

There are some great stillwaters to explore in "The Lochs" section of the website, with plenty of venues for bank fishing, boat fishing and float tubing.

A website which has been created to offer visiting anglers the chance to take advantage of some local knowledge.

I hope you find it useful ……

I am based at Haddo Trout Fishery, where you can enjoy some great fly fishing for rainbow trout, blue trout and brown trout from rowing boats and float tubes.

Haddo is a great place to relax, there is lots of wildlife, the kettle is always on for a cuppa and it would be grand to meet some of the website visitors, so please have a look at the Haddo Trout Fishery page while you are on the site.

You can catch up with the latest fishing reports for Haddo and many other local trout fisheries on our website forum
