Fish Pass - Beat 7: Blue Fox Glade

About Beat 7: Blue Fox Glade

This is a secluded stretch of about 1200m of left hand single bank, with a nice mix of riffles, runs and some lovely big pools. Trout fishing with a chance of a sea trout or possibly a salmon, given good water. Usually lightly fished, possibly due to the walk to access the water, this beat remains productive to the few anglers who fish it regularly, often producing a really decent stamp of brown trout.
