Welcome to Deeside Fishing Guides, your premier destination for unforgettable fly fishing adventures in Scotland. Founded in 2023 by Scott Rutherford, Deeside Fishing Guides is more than just a guiding service – it's a passion project born out of a lifelong love for the rivers and the sport.
As an Orvis Endorsed guide, I've dedicated myself to sharing the beauty and excitement of fishing on the River Dee, River Spey, River Don, and beyond. My roots run deep in Deeside, where I've spent countless hours exploring its waters and honing my skills.
Having managed an Orvis store in Banchory, nestled along the banks of the Dee, I've cultivated invaluable connections with river owners and ghillies. Through these relationships, I've gained unparalleled insights into the intricacies of fishing the various beats, ensuring that every excursion with Deeside Fishing Guides is filled with local knowledge and expertise.
But more than just fishing, Deeside Fishing Guides is about creating unforgettable experiences. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to test your skills or a newcomer eager to learn the ropes, I'm here to make sure your time on the water is nothing short of extraordinary.
So, join me as we embark on a journey through Scotland's most pristine rivers, where every cast holds the promise of adventure and every moment is infused with the magic of the great outdoors. Welcome to Deeside Fishing Guides – let's make some memories together.
