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 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 …… Mike Barrio

I am based at Haddo Trout Fishery, where you can enjoy some great fly fishing for 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

Barrio Fly Lines
Researched and developed at Haddo Trout Fishery and on the River Don in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The Barrio Fly Line Range is ideal for trout fishing on our lochs and rivers and is enjoying an ever growing reputation for innovation, quality and value for money.

With their nice supple feel and very low memory, these fly lines are simply a pleasure to cast with!

New for 2011 ….. Barrio GT90 fly lines.

Barrio Fly Rods
Custom built Barrio LC903 and Barrio LC905 fly rods.

Researched and developed by David Norwich and Mike Barrio.

Crisp, accurate and sensitive fly rods, exclusively designed, rolled and built in Scotland with individual serial numbers.

Our new fly rods have fast recovery with powerful reserves, yet they retain that elusive "feel" that is so often lost in this kind of rod.

If you can't find what you are looking for on the main website, have a read through the Forums & News section.

This is full of useful information and includes regular fishing reports from our local trout fisheries, discussions about tackle, tactics, flies, rod building, fly tying, float tubing, casting and all manner of fly fishing subjects.

You will find the anglers on the forum a friendly and helpful group, so please visit the forum and join in the discussions!

Barrio Fly Lines supports  The Wild Trout Trust

A charity dedicated to the conservation of wild trout in Britain and Ireland through the protection and restoration of their habitats.
