Salmon and Sea Trout: 1st February to 30th November
There are ten recognised salmon pools within the Beat and there are many other lies worth a cast. The main run of larger fish begins in September and is, of course, the most sought after period. However, the spring run fish, though smaller, are in fine condition and there can be some excellent fishing during these early months. In the summer fish are reasonably sized and a small rise in the water will give good value fishing.

Trout : 1st April to 30th September
Optimum trout fishing times are daytime early in the season, and early evening to dusk throughout the summer months. Our trout average half a pound in weight but two pounders are common and top weights reach four pounds.

Grayling : All year
The pursuit of these quality fish is becoming ever more popular and the Teviot has developed a good reputation for fish weighing two to three pounds. December to February finds these fish at their best.
