Attractive
beat, owned by the Friars Carse Country House Hotel.
This is the only beat which can offer both fishing and
accommodation.
The beat
has a mixture of pools which provide for fishing with
fly, spinning or worming. A good riverside footpath
allows anglers with mobility problems to fish some of
the more productive pools without difficulty.
The beat
has a good record of catches of salmon and sea trout
