Exclusive Salmon Fishing on the North Esk
Offers approximately one and one quarter miles of double bank fishing providing excellent fly water with eleven named pools.
Vehicular access to the river is good with a well-maintained track running the full length of the beat on the southern bank. A well-appointed bothy is situated at the upper end of this track.
The north bank can accessed at the top and bottom of the beat although a four wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
Access to the beat has, for many years, been restricted with a keen syndicate taking full advantage of their dedicated weeks. This arrangement came to an end in 2021 and the river is now open and available all season.
The beat offers a quiet relaxed, some might say tranquil, atmosphere where noise pollution is greatly restricted and, in the main, emanates from the river itself and the abundant wildlife.
An excellent “stress buster” which is interrupted only when a fish or grilse comes to the fly!
Accommodation
The recently refurbished and extended self-catering lodge*, which is situated approximately 250 metres from the river, offers four double, one twin bedroom and five bathrooms. The property is finished to a very high standard and provides a large comprehensively equipped kitchen, comfortable lounges with wood-burning stoves and a separate dining room.
A secure rod room, with freezer, is also provided.
