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.

Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Altyre Burn are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
