Finavon Castle Water Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River South Esk in Scotland

Beats and Pools

The fishing is divided into 2 beats, Milton & Indies, each having a length of approximately 1.25 miles and which comfortably fish 3 rods each. The water on each beat has a magical variety of pools, riffles and runs which can produce fish in different heights of water and which often require the use of various different techniques and tactics to unlock their secrets, and which we hope will keep the discerning angler comfortably intrigued and interested throughout the duration of their visit and beyond.
