Fishing at Cairnton
Overview
Cairnton offers just under 2 miles of fishing from the North (left) bank of the Dee, comprising over 25 pools. It is located some 2 miles West of Banchory and 20 miles upstream of the estuary.
The fishing is available to let throughout the season as follows:
|
1st February to 3rdJune 7th June to 15thOctober |
4 Rods 3 Rods |
Generally the whole beat will be let by the week, but parties may arrange to split a week by taking three days each; or by taking two rods in a four rod week.
At normal Spring levels all but one pool can be fished from the bank and jetties; but as levels drop, wading becomes necessary (a wading stick is strongly recommended as the river bed is full of rocks and boulders). The banks have been well maintained and are largely unobstructed, so that there is really only one pool where Spey casting is advisable.
Except when the river is low there is little interference with the opposite bank.
