COVID-19 rules will be updated in line with Scot Gov latest rules/guidelines: The boat will take only one angler (plus the ghillie). The optimum way of managing this is the two balloted boat rods take turns in using the boat ie In the morning, one angler takes the boat and the other fishes from the bank. After lunch anglers swap places.

Access
Directions(SATNav:PH1 4JB)
Traveling northwards from Perth to Caputh on the B9099, after crossing the Caputh bridge, in about 350yds (as you enter the village) on your right you will see a post box immediately before a white house. Turn right at the post box and travel about half a mile down the gravel track. The fishing hut is on the right-hand side and as yet we do not have access to it, but there is a car park in which to park your vehicle to fish the upper beat. The combination for the hut car park padlock is 2112 and this must be locked when the last angler leaves. If you have a suitable vehicle, there is also vehicle access as far as the Corner Pool by coming back onto the track, turning right, and following the track until you come to a large wooden shed. Turn right after the shed and go through the gate. This gate must always remain closed. Follow the track and bear right towards the gravel beach. Cars can be parked on the gravel beach only as indicated on the beat Map (not on the adjacent grass bank). DO NOT DRIVE ON THE EMBANKMENT WALL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. To fish the bottom half of the beat down to the Salt Hole, access is by foot only, walking down the side of the growing crops. Please adhere to the track and be mindful of the crops. All gates must be left closed.
