Doonfoot Fishing

As active members of the Ayrshire River Trust which acts to protect and promote river health, Doonfoot Fishing offer information and permits to fish on the river Doon. The Doon River is the most prolific of the Ayrshire rivers and Doonfoot Fishing offer the most prolific location, averaging nearly 400 salmon a season.

The River Doon originates 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 the river fishable all season. The average weight of Salmon caught is about 8Ibs, although odd fish of over 20Ibs are caught most years.

Fishing season is 4 months from July to October, and all fishing must be booked in advance, please visit the Doonfoot Fishing website for further information.
