About the river ugie

The River Ugie is a primarily spate river that enters the sea at Peterhead, the largest white fish port in Europe. The town itself is steeped in fishing history from whaling to the present day pelagic and demersal sectors. Not that long ago, the River Ugie was recognised as the finest sea trout river in Scotland, if  not the UK. Records state, and there are still members today that can confirm of 600 sea trout caught in one single day. 

History, yes, but with the river under new management, the association and its fellow members are striving to re introduce the sea trout in acceptable numbers through our re stocking programme. The banks of the river ugie are kept in pristine condition thanks to our management team and our team of volunteers.

The River Ugie, pronounced "you gee" and its fellow members are proud of our "hidden gem."

With members that are prepared to give up their own time to make everyones visit to "The Ugie" a memorable experience, we hope that you will take time to visit and perhaps leave with a day to remember.
