Reasonable summer fishing likely at Raemoir Trout Fishery

A well-regarded commercial rainbow fishery a mile or two north of Banchory in upper Deeside, tucked into woodland on the old Raemoir estate. Multiple small lochs and ponds stocked with rainbow trout running from takeable stockies up to a few specimen fish that keep the regulars photographing. Fly only, day tickets, tuition, year-round. Raemoir is probably the best commercial stillwater for an angler based in central Aberdeenshire and serves as a sensible warm-up or rainy-day alternative when the Dee and its tributaries are unfishable. The fishery has been consistently well-run through changing ownership and has a solid local following among competition anglers as well as weekend rods.
