Both banks of the river are owned by the estate and include 12
individual beats (six house rods, one family rod and five rods
on the south bank). Fishing is available for as little as one
rod for one day to weekly lets for parties of up to eleven fishers.
For the ultimate break fishers can take advantage of the superb
accommodation available at the house. Preference is given, if
possible, to parties staying in the house.
The River Dee is less than a five minutes walk from the house
and all the pools are accessible and, depending on height, a considerable
quantity of bank fishing is available. Wading is generally easy
and certain pools are suitable for older guests and beginners
with easy bank fishing and casting. Park is renowned for the quality
of its fishing. The overall catch in 2009 was 617 salmon and 145
sea trout. There are six fishing huts on the water with four on
the house side and a further two on the south side. The main hut
is a short walk from the house and looks out on the famous Cellar
pool and the Durris Stream.
The conservation code for
the 2010 season, as set by the Dee District Fishery Board and
the Dee Salmon Fishing Improvement Association, is that all salmon
and sea trout should be returned. The conservation
code recommends that all injured or damaged fish become the property
of the Estate.
The estate provides one ghillie for each side of the river and
additional ghillies are also available, at an extra charge. All
the ghillies can provide expert tuition in all aspects of fishing,
fly casting, etc.
