Ythan
Aberdeen and District Angling Association
Offer day tickets for a stretch of north bank from above the bridge at Methlick down stream for about 3,500 metres. The river is quite small here (4 to 5 m wide) and fishes best after a spate. A trout rod is all that is needed when fly fishing. The river tends to be slow and sluggish in the upper part of the beat more suited to spinning and worm fishing, best spinners are flying C, small rapala or Devon. There is better fly water from Waterloo Bridge downstream, recommended flies are cinnamon and gold, black pennel, silver stoat and butchers. Salmon average 10 per annum, best in September October, sea trout average 50pa and finnock 200pa. Best for sea trout from mid July. Permits online at www.adaasales.co.uk/
