River Ugie

Running through Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, River Ugie is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at River Ugie hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic mackerel

  When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
