The Lunan Burn is a small Scottish stream flowing through Angus with a character typical of east coast burns, featuring shallow pools and faster runs over gravel and bedrock. This intimate waterway offers good sport for brown trout and sea trout in season, with the lower reaches occasionally holding salmon during their spawning runs. Access is generally available along much of the burn, though anglers should check local permissions and respect private land boundaries.
The statutory close season on Lunan Burn runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Lunan Burn are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
