About River Almond

The River Almond is a productive lowland river in central Scotland with a mix of faster runs and slower glides, offering good opportunities for both coarse and game fishing. The river holds healthy populations of salmon, sea trout, and brown trout in its upper reaches, while lower sections provide excellent roach, bream, and pike fishing. Access is generally good with several public stretches available, though permits are required and can be obtained through local fishing associations.

River Almond 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.
