Pitlochrie is fished on both banks on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays this year.
The beats are situated about six miles from the top reaches of tidal water. In the spring with water temperatures being low the salmon tend to have their first stop in these waters because of the Weir at the top of the Catholes thus making then both prime spring beats. The fishing comes with two ghillies and two boats on each beat.
