About Duchray Water

The Duchray Water is a small Scottish spate river offering intimate fishing in moorland and woodland settings, with a character typical of Perthshire hill streams.

Access is generally available through local permissions and estate arrangements, though anglers should confirm with riparian owners before fishing.

Duchray Water observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. No rod licence is needed in Scotland, but permission or a permit from the estate, club or riparian owner is usually required.
