Maximum number of rods allowed is five. The owner appreciates catch and release on this beat. River Blackwater, Glenshee, Perthshire Bleaton Hallet is a remarkably beautiful double bank beat about one mile long that contains a variety of pools, including a lovely set of waterfalls and places for salmon to rest in all heights of water. The Blackwater is a very prolific salmon river that fishes well given suitable conditions between the middle of May and 15 October. Like most small rivers it fishes best after rain and before the water has dropped back to summer level.
Access is generally easy but wading is necessary.
Fishing a light double handed or single handed fly rod rated for an AFTM 7 line is the perfect way to tackle this beat. Casting amongst the trees can be tricky but without the shade they provide salmon would not settle there. Small flies and floating or intermediate lines are best. Patterns Ally's Shrimp, Stoats Tail, Silver Stoats Tail, Cascade, Munro Killer and Jeannie are recommended. Cost is 25 per rod day bookable in advance.
