Description

The Kinnaird fishing consists of two miles of double bank fishing 1.5 miles downstream of Brechin. All beats (except Powmouth) let for 4 rods although summer water may not allow this number on all beats.

A waterman will be employed by the estate to oversee and maintain fishings generally and to 'get you started'.
