Fishing The Fly Scotland

Fishing The Fly Scotland

Fishing The Fly is based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, at the heart of the rivers Don, Dee, Spey and Deveron.

We went live on the web back in the mid 90s, with the basic idea of sharing our enthusiasm for the fishing in the area and hopefully helping others to enjoy this too.

Numerous remakes and updates have followed over the years, but the ethos remains very much the same.

We hope you find our website content useful and that you spend many enjoyable hours on the water!

River Don Trout Fishing

The River Don is reasonably well known for it's salmon and sea trout fishing, but the reason that most anglers visit the river is to enjoy the excellent brown trout fishing.

An introduction to the River Don, with additional pages covering flies and tactics that will hopefully help you to tempt one of these beautiful trout.

Plus pages for local angling clubs and tackle shops to help you find fishing opportunities on the river.
