Under the control of the Pringles of Torwoodlee since 1489 (for further information go to www.torwoodlee.com), this is a very
attractive and relatively easily accessible stretch of the river. It offers good Upper Tweed fishing at reasonable prices.
The Nest catches almost all of its fish in October and November but sea trout are often to be seen in July and salmon sometimes
arrive as early as mid-September.
The beat consists of one-and-a-half miles of the left bank with four named pools, there is a small but adequate hut and there are
three main access routes to the river which involve parking on the main road and walking no more than 200 yards. The path at The
Boat Pool has been upgraded and this makes life a lot easier.
Otters and kingfishers can be seen amongst all the other wildlife to be expected in this wonderfully scenic part of the Scottish
Borders. Local accommodation can be found at all levels.
The Estate can help to organise other activities to complement your visit - please call James Pringle on 01896 752153 to arrange
stalking, rough shooting and wildlife viewing or see www.wildlifeshadows.co.uk
Please note that the Estate reserves the right to fish an occasional house rod but only when conditions are suitable.
