The River Dun is a modest lowland river offering mixed coarse and game fishing across its 28.4km length. Anglers can expect reasonable sport with chub and roach in slower sections, though current fish populations are under pressure and catches may be inconsistent. Access is typically via day tickets from local clubs and riparian owners, so permission should be sought in advance of visits.
