Novar Fishings - Beat 5

Beat 5 starts below Raven’s Rock. This is an excellent beat for fresh run fish, easily reaching here off the tide in reasonable water levels. 

From the top of the beat the river tumbles down through a long cascade, then through a series of good pools including Jäger fished from the left bank to Aggie's bridge, an excellent high water pool.

The beat then continues with a succession of  pools fished from the right bank down to the ‘New Bridge’ on the B9176 Evanton - Bonar Bridge road. On the upper half,  Boulder Rush and the Ash pool will often produce a fish. On the lower half,  the Upper and Lower Robertsons, the Crag and Rush are all extremely productive. Below the road bridge there are 3 pools fished from the left bank by crossing the bridge; Lower Dalneich Bridge is one of the top high water pools on the river, and the Island pool, which is reachable in all but the highest spates is deep and fast, producing fish even in low water.
