What We Do
The River Stinchar District Salmon Fishery Board manages the protection, enhancement and conservation of the Atlantic salmon and sea trout stocks in the River Stinchar. We also have a duty to ensure the general protection and enhancement of the fishery. See About Us Salmon Fishing
The River Stinchar is one of the most productive salmon fishing rivers in Ayrshire and has some excellent fly fishing water. This site provides useful information for the fisherman, with descriptions of the beats, contact details and advice on where to stay. See Fishing Guide. River Catchment
The river is 54 kilometers long, and rises in Shallochhill, in the Carrick Forrest, then runs through the beautiful Stinchar valley and the villages of Barr, Pinwherry, Colmonell and into the sea at Ballantrae. It has two main tributaries, the Duisk and the Assel. See The River.
