Description :The Candacraig and Edinglassie Fishings on the upper River Don extend to some 9 miles of trout and salmon fishing on both banks, running from the Luib Bridge in Corgarff to just above Bellabeg village. This famous stretch covers every style of water, from an open meandering river through fields, to deep rocky pools. Generally access is very good throughout and needless to say, the views are extremely picturesque. The water is fly fishing only.
The timing of your visit depends very much on your intended quarry. Renowned mainly for their spectacular wild brown trout, these beats fish best in April, May and early June when the big browns feed on the surface in the fast water.
The most productive flies for brown trout are : March Browns, Greenwells Glory wet/dry, Olive Duns, Blue Duns, Blae and Black, Black Pennell, Invicta, Silver Invicta and some flashier flies like Butchers for coloured water. Size 12 and 14 flies should cover most conditions.
The maximum number of rods per beat is : ?
Day fishing permit (brown trout, sea trout & salmon) : £17.50
Is a Ghillie available by prior arrangement? : No
