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!
