About River Livet

The River Livet is a classic Scottish spate river flowing through Speyside, known for its clear, fast-flowing waters and rocky character that offers excellent salmon and sea trout fishing during high water conditions. The river is relatively small and intimate, making it an ideal venue for skilled anglers seeking active runs and pools on a manageable beat. Most of the Livet is privately owned with fishing by permit or estate membership, so advance arrangements and local knowledge are essential for access.

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