About Ara

Ara cuts through Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Ara — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Northern pike

    Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

  • 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.
