The Kinnochtry Burn is a modest Scottish tributary system offering intimate small-stream fishing through rural Perthshire countryside. This shallow, clear-running burn holds good populations of wild trout despite its diminutive size, making it ideal for upstream nymph work and dry fly presentation. The burn's character is typical of Tayside tributaries with rocky substrates, riparian cover, and relatively stable flows outside winter spate periods.
The statutory close season on Kinnochtry Burn runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Kinnochtry Burn are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
