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

Bridge Pool

This pool is fished from the south bank after walking up the footpath from the car park at Tyndals.

Bridge Pool saw much improvement as a result of Storm Babet. The head of the pool is a deep, silky hole full of boulders and lie stones. It tails off into a long tail with a mixture of glides and riffles which can fish for a good 150 yards down in a sufficient height of water.

Bridge Pool is often neglected because people are put off by the proximity of the road and by the undoubted attraction of starting to fish Tyndals Pool immediately after arriving at the river, but it is often a place where a fish or two chooses to hold up at any time of the season and is always worth a cast.
