Here the Don has all the qualities of a Highland river-mountain, moorland and mature woodland slopes.

The salmon fishing can be excellent in the spring and autumn months. The upper Don is also famed for the quality of its brown trout fly fishing.

These fishings are provided on two stretches giving access to some two miles of water: the North bank upstream of the Bridge of Alford and the South bank, downstream of the village, within and below Haughton Caravan and Country Park.
