Hi ,
Yes it's legal. I,m not in the habit of fishing illegally!
Matt, I'll put something together.
Cheers,
Paul.
Careful, that is not strictly true..there are far to many exceptions to say "it is legal".
Judging by the photo I know where Paul was fishing and it is legal to fish for sea trout in the sea if you have a ticket to do so in that veru clearly defined area. This is available as a day ticket, or a season ticket if you live local.
Many other places around this coast will see you potentially at risk of being lifted.
There is a long running dispute over the legality of fishing for sea trout at several areas close to Aberdeen so please be careful, I would hate to see someone lifted for this offence as it carries a very hefty fine.
