Dee District Salmon Fishery Board & River Dee Trust

We are the Dee District Salmon Fishery Board and River Dee Trust

Two organisations who look after the UK’s highest river and one of the best-known salmon fishing rivers worldwide.

Our stunning river stretches 81 miles from the source high up in the Cairngorms, right down through Royal Deeside to where it joins the North Sea at the City of Aberdeen.

We are working toward our vision of a thriving river supporting abundant biodiversity and binding strong the Deeside communities in Northeast Scotland.

The river Dee is also a focus for intense freshwater conservation actions to help save the iconic Atlantic salmon, threatened and representative of all wildlife’s imminent threats.
