The Wick River is an unusual Highland salmon river in that its entire length of 10 miles, is controlled by Wick Angling Club, and fishing is available throughout to visitors.
The Wick river rises from an area of peatland to the north east of Stemster Hill, less than 200m above sea level. From there it flows north to Watten, then south-east to the coast. Despite its gentle descent and slow flow it is a spate river, and although very productive, it is essential to fish it after rainfall to enjoy success.
