DESCRIPTION:
Carlogie is the upper of the three Ballogie Estate beats. Central is Ballogie itself and the lower is Commonty.
Situated amidst forestry and farming land, this is a beautiful, versatile beat on the right bank of the river. Predominantly secluded with 3 huts. The main hut at the famous Calm Pool is a popular lunchtime rendezvous for all beat rods with cooking facilities and wood-burning stove.
Carlogie is a renowned streamy, classic fly water, which fishes well at all heights but particularly at low levels when it excels. The 16 named pools give a fine variety of challenge or ease to satisfy all techniques and tastes. Vehicular access is available to all pools, otherwise short walks via pleasant river paths are available. Wading is most easy and seeking depth is not a priority to reach lies. As well as salmon there is good sea-trout fishing from early summer throughout the beat. Like the other Ballogie Estate beats, Carlogie is a naturalist’s paradise with a wide diversity of flora and fauna. On the opposite bank lie the Dess and Kincardine beats.
Shared ghillie included in price of beat from 01 February to last week of June, thereafter additional charge per week.
Seasonal self-catering cottages are available for rent. Please phone Ballogie Estate for details and prices.
Guests are strongly advised to equip themselves with and wear a fisherman's life-jacket or suitable buoyancy aid. All personal property left in Fishing Huts is done so at owner's risk.
