Ballogie is the middle of the three Ballogie Estate beats. Above lies Carlogie and below Commonty, all on the right bank of the river. Like Carlogie, Ballogie is attractively located in forest and farmland. Ballogie caters for all tastes from streamy pools at the Upper, Middle and Lower Gannets, Flats and Kelpie to the deeper waters of the Sand, Slips, Boat and Potarch Bridge pools. The latter is close to the Potarch Hut, a popular lunchtime meeting place with wood burning stove capable of boiling water and heating snacks. Potarch Hotel is also an extremely popular rendezvous for fishermen.

Wading can be easy, not necessary or with some caution, depending on river heights, it is classic fly water with good movement and easy access to all pools. There are two main huts attractively located and families will enjoy the secluded, picturesque location with the diversity of flora and fauna.

Ballogie is divided into four beats fished in rotation, which gives a rich variety and varied challenge.
