Turtory is a two rod beat and has eight named pools
and is an excellent spring beat for Salmon as well as Brown
Trout . In Summer it needs water to bring up fish but has
some very deep slow pools where big fish hole up until the back
end rains come. Colonels The upper
most pool on the beat. It has a good head of water down through
the centre and fish can be found off this on both sides in
higher water. In lower conditions you need to get over to them
on the far side and to get down fast. The tail is good for trout
and can be very productive for salmon in a spate.
The colonels Upper Inchlyne Taken with the
next pool down (as they run into each other) Alice Wilson these
are the most productive on the beat. It offers excellent fly
water at the head as the river forces its way over the
croys at the tail of the Colonels. This gives a lovely run where
fish can be picked up all the way down the pool. As the pool
runs down into Alice Wilson the fish lie on the far bank under
the trees.
Looking down at Upper Inchlyne Middle and Lower Inchlyne
these two pools are long and slow. The middle pool
has some movement off a croy and you can intercept a fish off
this in reasonable water levels. The lower pool is shaded by
trees and lurking in its depths can be some very big salmon.
The boundary between The Manse and Lower Inchlyne
Manse
Pool
The Manse pool runs on the far side of the Island and has a
lovely stream at its head. Fish can be found either side of this
at the tail. The lower part of the pool is good spinning Water.
Cemetery Run and Cemetery So called as they run past the
cemetery.
These are two wide pools and are best spun but the cemetery has a
glide at the bottom where fish can be covered and picked up with
the fly.
The Hut at Turtory. A cottage is available
for let along with the fishing.
