The River Lossie is a short tidal section of approximately 5.3km in Morayshire, Scotland, influenced by coastal tidal movements which create dynamic fishing conditions. The river offers opportunities for both sea trout and salmon, particularly during tidal exchanges when fish move between freshwater and estuary.
