We take guests mainly beginners to various beats on the tweed that we have access to as well as a few tributaries such as the whiteadder, till and the ettrick.
There is one beat on the tweed that I'm am very fond of and of which I am given access to fish provided there's a spare rod available.
This beat is called ashiestiel and has roughly 2 miles of fishing on the right hand bank fishing downstream.
There is a pool called gladdies which is a well known holding pool on the upper tweed which in the back end never seems to disappoint and in the evening can come to life if the seatrout are in a good mood.
I have just had a few days fishing there and managed to land a 4lb seatrout and there 1st salmon of the season out of GLADDIES these were also on 2 flies that I tied so extra added bonus there.
Hopefully this will be the start of something special I shall find out in 2 weeks when I return from the alness which will be my next blog.
4lb seatrout caught on ashiestiels lowest pool the house pool returned.
A few casts in rampys this pool generally does better later on in the season
Most early fish pass straight through into gladdies which is the next pool up
Last year I was fortunate to land a 6lb seatrout in this pool.
Never disappoints even if you don't catch anything.
Lovely trout caught in rampy.
always a good place to find some coffee on the bru.
6lb grilse I caught this year in gladdies 9th August.
1st salmon of the season on ashiestiel. Remember we are right on the upper tweed so fish generally don't get caught until around this time.
Gladdies this pool really comes into its own back end of the salmon season.
High number of the catches are out of this pool.
My good friend Ali hutchens was fortunate enought to catch his 1st seatrout out of here last year
It weighed 12LBS !!! Some people are just lucky.
Hopefully there are many more fish to be caught in here this year and I will be bringing info on it throught the season.
