Lochter is a 12 acre fishery set in beautiful countryside between Inverurie and Oldmeldrum.
It consists of four lochs ( one being in the shape of a fish ) and is stocked with rainbow trout up to 20lbs in weight, with a few even bigger fish.
All the popular flies work well, and you can buy from the selection which is available at reception. It is always a good idea to have a quick look in the catch book while you are there, as this will show you which methods have been catching the fish.
The fishery rules stipulate a minimum breaking strain of 6lbs nylon. When you catch one of their better rainbows you will understand why!
Facilities include a nice picnic and barbecue area, a restaurant, toilets, and a licensed bar. The Lochter Visitor Centre even caters for larger occasions such as weddings!
Access for the disabled is good.
Lochter also offers various activities such as clay pigeon shooting, rally karting, archery, target golf, mini highland games and putting. They also specialise in the corporate market.
( HOW TO GET THERE FROM INVERURIE )
Located five miles from Inverurie, take the B9001 Rothienorman road and then turn right on to the Oldmeldrum road after passing a lay by on your left, follow this for a couple of miles, the fishery is on your right and is clearly visible from the road. Allow seven minutes by car.
