Novar Fishings - Beat 4
 Beat 4 is spectacular. It starts in pasture, with the Dalreoch Bridge pool. The footbridge on the Bridge pool can be crossed to fish the Bridge pool, Landslide and the small pool above it from the left bank. The next pool down, the Glide, fished from the right bank is also very productive, especially in high water. At the Corner pool the gradient increases and the river starts to cut through sandstone and conglomerate creating a number of large deep holding pools such as The Hoch, Cliff, Holly, Minister's and Cunningham's with backdrops of high cliff faces and giant conifers.
The lower half of the beat starts with Holly, access helped by a catwalk along the cliff. The footbridge at the Minister's pool was lost in the flood of October 2006, but another catwalk allows fishing along most of the length of Cunningham's to Flat Rock and Valve. The beat ends with the 2 stunning and extremely productive pools at Raven's Rock.
