About Altyre Burn

Altyre Burn is a small Speyside tributary offering intimate woodland stream fishing through the Moray region. This short burn provides typical upland Scottish habitat with rocky pools and fast runs, ideal for targeting sea trout and brown trout in its clearer stretches. The burn fishes best during spate conditions when water levels rise, offering good sport for those willing to explore its narrow, technical sections.

The statutory close season on Altyre Burn runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Fishing rights on Altyre Burn are typically held by the riparian owner or a local angling association — check before visiting, as no rod licence is required in Scotland.
