About River Lonan

This short stream provides excellent habitat for native species and is valued by local anglers for its scenic character and accessible stretches. The river's modest size and clear waters make it ideal for upstream nymph fishing and small fly techniques.

River Lonan 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.
