Newbie
Newbie and Distillery Fishings on the River Annan, was timeshared in the mid 1980’s and is divided into 3 beats, split over 10 rods, for the 36 weeks of the fishing season, giving 360 rod weeks in all.
Some owners hold multiple rod weeks, giving a total of individual owners of around 125 at this time.
The Newbie Beat is a much sought after and productive fishery of about 2 miles, mostly double bank, and being just above the tide and at times in part tide affected, can produce fresh fish in even the lowest of waters.
