Euchries beat is a two rod stretch of water at the Bridge of Marnoch. It is very
rocky in places but has relatively easy access for the most part and holds fish
in the deeper pools. It is an excellent trout fishing stretch.
The Post Office pool and Euchries
These pools are at the top of the beat and run into each other to make a long
pool on a sweeping bend. At the top it is fast and runs very deep either side of
the rush.
Fish can be found here in all conditions but it can be difficult to tempt them. Fish
the pool all the way down to the two stones at the corner where the water
shallows up.
Bathing pool
A good pool for trout including sea-trout.
Elbow
This stretch can be very productive if you can negotiate the rocks and wade out
so as you have the fly fishing nearly on the dangle in the deep run at the far
side.
Wagtail.
A slow deep pool but with a flow in places. Can hold fish
in higher water conditions.
Craighead
Very rocky but full of trout.
Marnoch Bridge
Good pools in and after high water. Below the bridge down
to the island is as good as any for spinning in higher water
with most fish lying on the opposite bank level with
Marnoch Lodge.
Although a short beat it needs water to fish well but if
you can become intimate with the beat it does reveal its
secrets and fish can be had when other more illustrious beats
are blanking.
