River Dee | Scotland

The 1st Feb marks the opening of most of our Scottish Rivers. Our home river the Aberdeenshire Dee is historically the first river to experience early number of salmon building. 
Catching a February Springer is however no easy task and battling with winds, cold temperatures is what our anglers are happy to do for that February fish.
As we go into March and April numbers will begin to build and become more active as water temperatures increase.
Crathes Castle beat which is at the top of the lower river and historically has been the area of river to hold these early fish.

March

Wild Trout | Scotland 

The Scottish trout season opens on the 15th March. As winter turns to spring we like to spend time on our trout streams searching for the big hungry trout that have had a lean few months.

Our favourite time of year for trout is end March - mid June
