This beat combines excellent fishing with the most stunning location on the whole river. Here the river loops past the Eildon Hills
in a beautiful wooded gorge giving fishers complete seclusion from the outside world. The stretch is one mile long, with two-thirds
of it double bank fishing, and provides some most interesting quality fishing, with a pool or stream for every height of water.
There is an excellent hut in an idyllic situation on the middle beat for the use of all the rods, and there are four boats, two for
fishing and two for ferrying from bank to bank. Access is by car down a private track to a small parking area about 100ft above the
rod hut. From there the path is too steep for vehicles and you have to walk the remaining short distance.
Until 19th September four rods are let, some by the day and others on a syndicate basis (giving a regular one day each week, contact
FishPal for details). From 19th September, six rods are let on a weekly basis with two ghillies provided. During this period, the
beat is split into three, with rods fishing in pairs and rotating on an am/pm basis.
Please note that because of the steep banks you should be a reasonable walker and wader to fish this beat.
