The Ythan is a long established fishing
river particularly for Sea Trout, Finnock and Atlantic
Salmon with some deep pools such as the Machar Pool
at Auchmacoy being particularly popular with Anglers.
The biggest fish to be caught is believed to be a 44lb
salmon taken using a fly by a Dr. Fowler of Ellon 1892
in the waters of Haddo House.
A dead specimen weighing 51 lbs is reported to have
been found stranded in a pool in 1895 in Haddo Waters.
The Ythan used to support a large stock of fresh water
pearl mussels which were regularly fished and a pearl
from one of these mussels is featured in the Scottish
Crown.
