view live watercambeat overview
The Lower North Wark beat is situated approximately 2 miles up-stream of Coldstream Bridge on the Scottish side of the Tweed between Birgham and Coldstream.
The beat has been a solid performer over very many years. Currently top catches come from the Annaside, Ferrystream and North Willows pools. At high water the Wall and the North Temple fish well. The beat performs at all river heights but particularly well at medium and low water levels.
Automatic readings of the exact water height from the Wark gauge are updated hourly and shown on the beat’s webpage. Tenants have the use of a comfortable fishing hut overlooking the Ferrystream pool and the ruins of Wark Castle.
Typically tenants take whole or half weeks but individual and daily lets will be considered on enquiry . Fishing is offered direct to tenants and no commission or other charges are payable.
Some Autumn Fishing, if available, can be booked through the availability pages. The fishing is for 3 rods with 2 boatmen.
