The Smithston Water begins about 500 metres below the village of Patna and extends for about 3 kilometers with a mixture of double and single bank fishing. There are 37 named pools, divided into 3 beats, with numerous streamy waters between.
The Smithston Water offers fabulous variety, ranging from quieter waters flowing through pastures on the Top ‘A’ Beat, to tumbling pools on the wooded Middle ‘B’ beat to swift waters on the Bottom ‘C’ beat, as the river flows towards the rapids of the Boreland Glen. The fishing suits both newcomers to the sport and more experienced rods.
By any standards, the Smithston Water is an exceptional piece of countryside – with wildlife and fauna to match – set in the lush Ayrshire countryside – a tremendous place for salmon and trout and those that seek to catch them! Most salmon arrive from summer onwards but spring trout fishing can be superb with quality trout.
