The River Dee is internationally famous for its salmon fishing, and especially so for its multi-sea winter spring salmon, with anglers coming from all over the world to fish it. Excellent trout fishing is also available in the area and if you are interested in sea angling, coastal fishing villages are less than half an hour away. Whatever kind of fishing you seek, be assured that all are set in peaceful and beautiful locations..
In addition to the increasing run of spring fish, the river also provides some excellent summer fishing for salmon, grilse and sea trout.
One of the top four British salmon rivers, the Dee rises in the Cairngorm Mountains from the Wells of Dee and flows over hard worn granite bedrock before cascading over the precipitious Lin of Dee upstream of Braemar. From there it passes Balmoral, Ballater, Dinnet, Aboyne, Kincardine O'Neil and Banchory before entering the North Sea at Aberdeen over 80 miles from it's source.
Fishing
Raemoir Trout Fishery - 3 lochs, with a water surface of 6 acres within a naturalised 11-acre site, are interconnected and fed by a small stream, which, combined with the adjacent marshland, ensure that there is prolific natural feed to keep the fish in excellent fighting condition. There are exceptional quantities of sticklebacks, corixa, and damsels in all 3 lochs, and excellent surface hatches, which make Raemoir a notable fishery for floating line tactics. The fishery is stocked weekly throughout the year maintaining an excellent density of trout at all times. The main species stocked is Rainbow Trout in the range of 2lb to 6lb with specimens up to 14lb. Other species stocked are Brown Trout, Blue Trout, and Arctic Char.
