The River Ugie

Sea Trout Fishing on the Ugie

The River Ugie is formed from the North Ugie and the South Ugie, which is impounded in its upper course to form Fedderate Reservoir. The two streams meat east of Longside and enter the sea at Peterhead. The River Ugie is a worthwhile sea trout river with a good number of salmon caught too. Very much a spate river with its flow affected by land drainage, the main runs of sea trout appear in June, with salmon arriving later in the season, usually September and October. Once a noted sea trout river, the Ugie now produces in the order of 100 salmon and 300 sea trout in a season, with salmon averaging eight pounds and sea trout two and a half pounds.

River Ugie Sea Trout Fishing

The river Ugie fishery is regulated by the Ugie Angling Association, from which both season permits and day permits are available. The main river, which was in the past one of the most prolific sea trout rivers in Scotland, can be fished from the village of Longside east to the golf course bridge, near to the mouth of the river, for the most part from either bank. Access to the river is available from a number of parking areas made available by local farmers. There is a river restocking programme in operation for both salmon and sea trout. A TWO FISH PER DAY LIMIT is therefore in operation.
