Water of Feugh

The Water of Feugh is a tributary of the River Dee in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, joining the main river at the town of Banchory. This intimate and characterful river offers a distinctive angling experience within one of Scotland's most celebrated salmon fishing regions. The beat managed by the Aberdeen & District Angling Association (ADAA) is known for its fast, shallow runs interspersed with deeper holding pools, and the river corridor is well shaded by mature trees — a feature that fosters a rich insect life but also presents casting challenges, particularly for fly anglers. The confluence of the Water of Feugh with the River Dee at Banchory is a landmark location in Royal Deeside, and the surrounding area is steeped in angling tradition.
