Fishing at Friars Carse Hotel
Friars Carse Country House Hotel has the only beat on the River Nith which offers fishing and accommodation.
The River Nith is arguably the most productive of the Solway Rivers. It offers excellent sport for anglers of all abilities and experience.
The beat at Friars Carse is very attractive and offers 2300 metres of right bank fishing with a mixture of pools providing fishing with fly, spinning or worming.
A good riverside footpath allows anglers with mobility problems to fish some of the more productive pools without difficulty. Access is via short paths leading from the hotel's parking area.
You'll find excellent accommodation, friendly staff and guests and the most fantastic countryside to make your fishing on Friars Carse beat a pleasant and memorable experience.
