The Coupar Grange beat has in the past been
overlooked by certain fishermen looking for
classic fly fishing but with a bit of water on
the river the fishing is second to none. With
sixteen named pools and runs, the three year
average for springers is over 160 fish and the
summer salmon and grilse take the yearly average
to over 400 fish. Fly fishing accounts for 80% of
the fish but spinning also does well. Certain
areas are reserved for fly only fishing. A
ghillie can be arranged for fishers unfamiliar
with the water.
The fishing comprise 2 miles of double bank with
easy access to the river and adequate parking.
Tickets are available Monday through Saturday.
For wildlife enthusiasts Coupar Grange boasts a
great variety of birds and mammals with osprey,
peregrine, kingfishers, buzzard, roe deer, otter,
hares and water vole seen regularly so bring your
camera.
