Dee - Forest Birse
We have two very good weeks available on Dee, Forest Birse beat.
May 5th to 10th and
May 12th to 17th
The Birse fishings lie half a mile south of Aboyne, with the beat extending to three and a half miles on the right bank downstream from the Altdinnie Pool, which is immediately above Aboyne Bridge.
All pools on the beat are easily fished from the bank or by wading. The water is fished by up to four rods who rotate between the various pools and each will have an even chance irrespective of water conditions. Fishing is available at any height of water.
One fishing hut services the beat and in addition there are two shelters. The hut has a wood burning stove, w.c. and telephone and is readily accessible by car,as are most of the pools.
Birse provides very attractive summer fishing, not only for salmon and grilse but also sea trout. The water is often fished well into the night during summer weeks.
The beat offers a catch and release compensation scheme where each rod catching and releasing live salmon in good condition to the river has the option to receive one side of smoked salmon for each fish released, up to a maximum of four per week. For part weeks the entitlement is calculated on a pro rata basis.
