A short, 380 metres of truly wild brown trout, grayling and the rare chance of a salmon on the River Balder. This is an incredibly wild and almost prehistoric river, full of character and the opportunity to fish virgin water. The majority of this river is heavily tree lined with rocky scars and boulders. This beat is wonderful to enjoy for a couple hours.

This small river is a hidden gem. It is an incredibly challenging water with a wonderful mixture of pocket fishing and small deep pools, all of which have probably never seen a fly, spinner or worm.

Wading on this beat is hard and great care must always be taken, a wading staff is a must. Please take care when near the steep sides of the river bank.

Go to methods will be single upstream spiders, nymphs and dry fly. Fishing with a 6ft 6in or 7ft 6in rod, line rating #2/3 is the perfect choice of fly rod. A small spinning rod and mepps, or worm fishing set-up could result in an exciting surprise.
