About Shochie Burn

The Shochie Burn is a small Scottish stream characterized by clear, fast-flowing water over rocky substrates, offering excellent conditions for trout fishing in its upper reaches. The burn supports a modest but healthy population of brown trout and occasional sea trout, with good holding pools and runs throughout its course. Access is generally available along much of the watercourse, though anglers should seek permission from riparian owners and check with local fishing clubs for any permit requirements.

Anglers should note the close season on Shochie Burn: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Access on most stretches is via club membership, an estate beat or a local permit — Scotland has no general rod-licence requirement.
