2.5
miles of mainly left bank fishing
The
Dalswinton Estate fishings are within the lower reaches
of the river and are divided into 2 beats. The entire
stretch offers good holding for late Autumn salmon and
early season sea trout. There are 23 named pools or
flats and these provide for the full range of methods.
The beats are well marked. Fishing huts are located next
to each of the beats.
Most of the pools are easily fished, but some sections
require a bit of care when wading. The Estate has a
manager who oversees the fishing on a daily basis and
who can give added assistance to those anglers who feel
the need for a 'ghillie'. |
