[Discover the Charm of Fishing on the Philiphaugh Estate
Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Borders, the Philiphaugh Estate offers a unique and exceptional fishing experience on the renowned Tweed tributaries of the Rivers Ettrick and Yarrow. With pristine waters flowing through the Estate, the fishery is just 1.5 miles upstream from the picturesque town of Selkirk—making it a short and scenic escape from everyday life.
The Ettrick River stretches 12 miles through diverse landscapes, from high hill ground used for stock rearing to the stunning, rolling vistas of the Ettrick Valley. It is here that the river converges with the Yarrow, forming the Meetings Pool—a beautiful confluence on the Estate’s boundary. With five distinct fishing beats, our waters offer something for everyone, whether you're a seasoned fly fisherman or just looking to enjoy a peaceful day by the river.
We maintain a limited number of rods per beat, with a maximum of four on most beats and just three on the smaller Beat 3. This ensures a relaxed and intimate fishing experience, where you can enjoy the serenity of nature without feeling crowded.
In summer, the river is easily covered from the bank, while autumn provides more adventurous wading opportunities. Regardless of the season, this is the perfect setting for fly fishing enthusiasts looking to reel in something special.
Come and experience the beauty, the challenge, and the thrill of fishing on the Philiphaugh Estate. It’s not just fishing; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the timeless landscapes of the Scottish Borders. - text to tweak]
