Under the Salmon Acts (presently stated inthe Salmon Act 1986 now consolidated in the Salmon andFreshwater Fisheries (Consolidation)(Scotland) Act 2003)it is empowered to protect, enhance and conserve AtlanticSalmon and the Sea Trout and has a general duty to ensurethe protection and enhancement of the fishery withinthe Ythan catchment in Aberdeenshire in the North Eastof Scotland.Theorigin of the name Ythan is unclear but may be derivedfrom thegaelic word ‘Athan’ meaning Ford suggestinga fordable river. Reference to a river called ‘Ituna’ ismade in some old reports relating to the times of the Romanpresence in the area approximately 220AD.The river Ythan originates from a convergence of small burnsin the vicinity of Ythan Wells near Auchterless at approximately 800ft above sea level. The riveris approximately 63 kilometres (39 miles) long running through the villages of Fyvie and Methlick and the town of Ellon to reach the sea at Newburgh some 12 miles north of Aberdeen. There are no large feeder lochs on the Ythan and water flows dependent on rainfall. Spates are not uncommon at times of heavy rainfall. Periods of drought reduce the flow rate to around 20 million gallons per day (76,000m3) with heavy floods increasing the flow rate to 1.8 billion gallons per day! (680,000m3). The highest recorded flood was probably that of 1829 when the river rose 10-12 ft above its normal level. The two main tributes are the Little Water draining the area south and west of New Deer and the Ebrie which drains southwards from the Auchnagatt area. The catchment area is 690 sq kilometres ( 266 sq miles). In 1979 the Ythan Estuary was incorporated into the Forvie Nature Reserve (created in 1959). The Estuary area comprises some 976 hectares of sand dunes (the 5th largest system in Britain and possibly the least disturbed), tidal mud flats and water. Habitats for large numbers of birds (225 species) including: Ducks, waders, sea birds and geese as well as numerous plant species, butterflies, moths and spiders and marine life. The Estuary is designated a Special Protection Area, candidate Special Area of Conservation, Biogenic reserve, RAMSA site, National Nature Reserve, Nature Conservation Review site, Geological Conservation Review site, Site of Interest to Natural Science and Site of Special Scientific Interest. In May 2000 the Ythan Catchment was declared a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone under the E U Nitrates Directive. The Action Plan introduced will limit the amount and timing of nitrogen fertilizer inputs (organic and inorganic) used by farmers throughout the catchment. The Ythan is a long established fishing river particu
