The Fishings
At some three miles long, Tweedhill is one of the longer Tweed beats.
Tweedhill is the lowest fished beat on the River.
On the Scottish side, our upstream boundary starts from the bottom of the Ladykirk beat and continues for three miles downstream past the Union Bridge to its downstream boundary with Paxton House.
On the English side, we have nearly three quarters of a mile with the upstream boundary starting from the bottom of the Horncliffe beat, past Saint Thomas’s Island, to the edge of Horncliffe village, with the downstream boundary opposite the Shiel.
The lower two beats of Tweedhill – Union and Shiel – are partly tidal. The upper beat – Fishwick – is rarely affected by tides.
Being tidal, Tweedhill is slightly different from anywhere else on the Tweed. The slight disadvantage is that occasionally your fishing might be affected, for a short time, by the incoming tide. The big advantage is that every tide brings fresh Salmon and Sea Trout.
Our fish are Silver and bright, and it is rare to see a coloured Salmon at Tweedhill, at any time in the season.
