The River Doon is the best known River in Ayrshire, and flows from its spawning burns above Dalmellington and also from Loch Doon which gives compensation flow when the river is low.
This has the effect of making our beats fishable all season. The average weight of Salmon caught is about 8Ibs, although odd fish of over 20Ibs are caught most years. Grilse average 5Ibs.
The Doon is the most prolific of the Ayrshire rivers and our beat is the most prolific averaging nearly 300 salmon per season over the past 16 years. As our season is only 4 months from July to October, it stands up to most of the top beats in Scotland.
We are active members of the Ayrshire River Trust which acts to protect and promote river health.
