Dryburgh Upper

beat overview

Dryburgh Upper is overlooked by the famous 'Scots View' and Wallace Statue in a glorious and secluded setting downstream of Bemersyde. The one mile of double bank fishing is highly productive and has nine named pools holding fish through spring, summer and autumn and with a pool to suit all water levels. There is a fantastically modern and well equipped hut with a kitchen, loo and a variety of inside and outside seating options.

The fishing stretches from the Monksford Pool below Bemersyde to the highly productive Battery Stream Pool which is consistent throughout the season, and the Bridge and Boat Pools above and below the iconic suspension bridge which has the backdrop of the Eildon Hills. Arthur’s Run and the Hotel Pool in front of the Dryburgh Abbey is another excellent cast particularly in low water.

The beats hold fish from the spring, summer and particularly autumn, and has a great run of sea trout.

The Ghillie is Brian Lile and can be reached on 07384 257456
