About Quharity Burn

The Quharity Burn is a small Scottish stream with a character typical of upland burns, featuring fast-flowing sections over rocky substrates and occasional deeper pools. Anglers can expect challenging but rewarding fishing for wild brown trout and sea trout, with the best prospects during higher water conditions when fish are more active. Access is generally available along much of the burn, though permission should be sought from local landowners, and fishing may be subject to seasonal restrictions under local fishery management.

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