Loch Fishing

There are five lochs within close proximity to the lodges all offering different fishing experiences from brown trout to rainbow.

Wild Brown Trout Fishing

There are populations of brown trout within the River Dee catchment, each year good catches of trout can and are made, with the River Feugh tributary being a popular spot. Further up the River Dee valley there are wild and remote areas where small populations of brown trout can be sourced.

Coarse Fishing 

Situated between Banchory and Ballater is the Aboyne Loch; an ideal location for coarse fishing. If you’re not an avid angler then coarse fish are freshwater fish that are not of the salmon family. The loch allows bait, spinning and fly fishing and hosts a mixture of fish including bream, carp, ide, perch, pike, roach and tench.
