The River Ythan
Sea Trout Fishing on the Ythan
The River Ythan rises from the Wells of Ythan,
at the eastern end of Strathbogie, and flows the thirty odd
miles eastwards to enter the North Sea, via a four mile long
estuary at Newburgh. The Ythan estuary provides excellent
feeding for sea trout and for the large colonies of sea
birds. It is on the estuary that the fishing is
concentrated, with anything up to around 2000 sea trout, and
a small number of salmon, taken each year.
