11 miles of mostly double bank fishing.
The Upper Nithsdale Angling Association beat covers fishings at the top end of the river. It has over 50 named pools, with a nice mixture of rocky, fast flowing streams, coupled with long slow flats which allows it to be fished with all methods. It takes its share of salmon and grilse, but it is best known for it sea trout catches. Although these have fallen from over 5000 in 1966, the last 5-year average return is still over 800.
