Abernethy and Aviemore
Angling Improvement Association
The Aviemore Fishing Beat
The association here controls two
prime sea trout beats. The upper beat, the Aviemore fishing, stretches for more
than three miles of the left bank of the Spey in and around Aviemore. There are sixteen named pools, suited to a mix of
fishing methods. Much of the river here is slow flowing with
heavy tree cover along much of the riverbank. Many pools are
best suited to worming or spinning but there are also some
fine pools eminently suited to night time fly fishing. Night
fly fishing begins in earnest once night temperatures begin
to rise and the river level has settled to a reasonable
night height, usually in early June, although sea trout will
be present from late May. The most productive months for sea
trout are June and July. Day and weekly permits are
available in Aviemore.
For more information see
Abernethy and Aviemore Angling Association
The Abernethy Fishing Beat
The lower Abernethy beat stretches for six
miles, from the Millers Pool above the village of Boat of Garten down to Broomhill Bridge, below the outflow of the
River Nethy. There are fifteen named pools, suited to all
methods, with many excellent night fly fishing pools. Like
the Aviemore beat further upriver, the best of the night sea
trout fishing is throughout June and July. Historically, sea
trout catches, on this beat alone, of around 1000 per season
were not uncommon, with an average size of about two and a
half pounds. Catches have fallen away in recent years but I
suspect that this is due in large part to the much reduced
fishing effort during the short summer nights, with fewer
visiting anglers than in earlier times. The sea trout night
fishing here can still be superb. The same applies to the
Grantown association beats described below. Permits for the
Abernethy association water are available at Boat of Garten
Post Office.

Abernethy and Aviemore Angling Association
Strathspey Angling
Improvement Association
The association, based in Grantown
on Spey, controls seven miles of prime sea trout and salmon
fishing on the River Spey, both above and below Grantown.
The best of the salmon fishing on this part of the river is
from April through May and June and again in September. The
sea trout appear in May, with the best of the sea trout
fishing in June and July, night catches peaking in late June
and continuing through July. A good year now would see
around 500 sea trout caught, averaging around two and a half
pounds but, like the Abernethy beats upstream, the number of
visiting anglers has declined in recent years, so the
fishing effort is much reduced. This can be seen as a bonus
for both local and visiting anglers, who often find
themselves all alone at night on prime sea trout pools.

Jedforest Angling Association
J.A.A.
offer all anglers the opportunity to fish beautiful stretches of
the River Teviot near the historic town of Jedburgh in the
Scottish Borders. Around 5 miles of the River Teviot, one of the
major tributaries of the famous River Tweed, is available for
salmon, sea-trout, brown trout and grayling angling. The association offers excellent fishing all year
round. The River Teviot has good early season salmon runs with
occasional fish into double figures. Grilse can be taken in the
summer months. However it is the autumn runs which provide the
best returns with fish in excess of 20 pounds. Grayling are
particularly abundant on the Teviot and provide excellent sport
throughout the autumn and winter months. Fish well in excess of
3 pounds are regularly taken and
stories of "monsters" are common amongst the regular visitors
who frequent the water. For those preferring the more gentle art
of fly fishing the Teviot is well renowned for its wild brown
trout with a good variation of streams and pools for wet and dry
fishing
For trout & grayling permits call Shaws Newsagent
(01835 863245) or Sanfords Country Sports shop (01835 863019).
Both in the Canongate in Jedburgh.
For Salmon & sea-trout permits call Club
Secretary Jim Oliver on 01835 863239.

miles from the sea. The association water is generally lightly
fished by the 40 local members. Four visitor tickets are allowed
per day. We have the fishing from opening day on 11th February
until 10th August each year. The average size of spring salmon
is around 8 or 9 lbs, but there have been a number of
considerably bigger fish taken in recent years, since the nets
came off. The grilse start to arrive in June and are usually in
the 4 to 5lbs range. Sea trout start to arrive in ever
increasing numbers from late April onwards.
