Finding quality day ticket salmon fishing is becoming increasingly difficult, so this beat was a nice find. It lies directly opposite the  famous Murthly beat, with which it has the reciprocal arrangements and is directly above the beat where Mrs Ballantyne caught her record. This gives you some idea of the quality of the fishing.
Being a middle beat you can be assured that good numbers of fish will be passing by and with deep pools going down to 40 feet you know that there will be residents about. The beats in this area are renowned for their catches of big fish.  On the day we visited this was  confirmed  by a huge bar of silver which crashed out of the water in front of us.
The fishing hut is clean, tidy and warm and has a great view up and down the river. The fishing boat is traditional and very well maintained. Cliff Murdoch the resident ghillie is a gentleman and exceptionally well versed in his art.
The fishing is suitable for both fly and spinning. Wading on the right bank is easy in parts, but you will need throw a good line to cover some lies. Some of the best fishing on this bank lies at your feet so only a short cast is required, but the bank is a little steep. Wading on the left bank is relatively easy. The bottom is bit lumpy, but in most conditions you don’t need to go beyond your knees to get to the best water which is a short cast away. Trees and banks are well maintained so casting is not a problem and those areas you cannot get to on foot are accessible from the boat. 

Access is via track adjacent to the main Stenton Estate entrance (do not go into the house entrance). Follow this to the car park which is a short walk away from the hut.

Trout Fishing

Trout fishing is not permited on the left hand bank (Stenton). The area is set aside as a bird sanctuary. Trout fishingis however available on the opposite right bank see Murthly.
