Luncarty is approximately half-a-mile in length with five named pools: Shochie Mouth, Big Stone, Eddys, Boat Hole and the Willow Tree. The mouth of the Shochie and Ordie burns come in at the top of the beat making an attractive stopping off point for passing salmon and sea trout, especially in the Autumn.
The beat fishes four rods and has one boat and a fishing hut by the river. The beat makes for good fly and spin fishing from both bank and boat.
September and October can be very productive with sizable salmon in high teens to twenties being caught from both bank and boat.
