2007 AGM - Friday 30th November

2008 UAA Members Update
As most of our members will know the River Ugie Fishings are now under new ownership. It is the intension of Lunar to allow the newly formed management team to handle the day to day running of the river and maintenance of banks, etc. Any suggestions on any issues regarding the river or its upkeep from UAA members would be considered.

UAA Hatchery Update
As most of our members will know, we intend to continue the running of the Hatchery as in previous years. Brood stock were collected in October 2007, with much appreciated help from UAA members and volunteers. All of the fish have now been stripped and the eggs laid out in the Hatchery trays, with some Sea Trout eggs due to hatch in early February. The first of the Salmon eggs will be due to hatch in early April, if all goes well. The heavy rain and spate conditions have hampered operations this year, but hopefully good results will prevail. I would like to thank David Basford of Mill of Elrick Fishery, and our water bailiff Bob Davidson for all their help and advice.

 

River Ugie Fishings
The River Ugie Fishery is managed by a local angling association. Season, Weekly or Day permits are available from Lunar Fishing’s office, East Quay, The Harbour, Peterhead.

The main river, which in its time, was one of the most prolific Sea Trout rivers in Scotland, can be fished from the village of Longside east, to the golf-course bridge, down to near the mouth of the river, for the most part from either bank. Access to the river is from a number of parking areas, made available by local farmers. There is a river restocking programme in operation for both Salmon and Sea Trout; we therefore operate a two-fish-per-day limit.

The main fisheries are:

  • Sea Trout: May - September - Average 300 per annum.

  • Salmon: July - October - Average 100 per annum.

All visitors are reminded to respect farming areas and livestock. Please refrain from leaving any litter or used fishing tackle on river banks.

Any poaching or pollution incidents, please contact our water bailiff, Bob Davidson, Tel: 01771622811 Mbl 07768854834
