Fishing at Cairnton
Amenities
Being on the sunny side of the river and amid lovely scenery, the fishing at Cairnton is both secluded and attractive. The considerable gradient from the top of the beat to the bottom offers a wide variety of pools with great character at both low and high water.
Four shelters and two delightful lunch huts are strategically placed along the banks; a well apointed rod room is at the centre of the beat, within reasonable walking distance of all pools. A bank side track gives direct access to all pools, except for a few hundred yards at the extreme ends of the beat, and is passable by most vehicles.
There is a resident ghillie, David Cowie, who has had a lot of experience in helping both experts and beginners and, having been head ghillie at Cairnton for over 25 years, knows all aspects of the water. From mid July to the end of August his services will be limited, however, to advice only.
