[Upper Caberston Fishings]

The river peaked at around 11' yesterday evening and it wasn't until today that some of the damage became apparent.

The river wiped out the footbridge across Pirn Burn just outside The Bothy.

We found part of it downstream beside The Weaver Pool

The water also scoured out a section of the road and dumped it on the side of the riverbank.

We also have to deal with the debris around the fences.

You can see how high the water got in the car park by the waterline on the tool shed.

Thankfully the gravel boards did their job and saved the car park.

Well the start of 2014 is certainly going to be a busy one!!!

It's an ill wind that blows no good.
Surely be something positive comes from this, No doubt there will have been plenty gravel movement and created some new lies.

A bit different from how it was in July!

Looks from the SEPA gauge at Peebles like it's been a near-record level
River level data

Hope the repairs go well and it's a while until you get another one like this.

New Bridge

After the bad flood on the 30th December 2013 which wiped out our footbridge across the burn outside The Bothy, I am pleased to announce that Steve the Ghillie has completed it's replacement.

Before

After​

The new bridge is now level with the car park, which will hopefully keep it safe from all but the very worst floods.

A very proud Steve and a very proud owner

John,

Any fish showing on the beat yet, waiting with baited breath for the first sign of fish....starting to get excited even though its mid October before we're with you.

Starting to tie some flies up, now the seatrout is all over ( for me anyway)

Hi Andy,

I have just been speaking with Steve as I have just came back off holiday and he says that he has seen a few fish about but not in great numbers....yet

He went onto say that the river is at a nice height at the moment and this helps bring more fish forward as the start of our season approaches.

I for one can't wait and I look forward to meeting you in October.

Hi Rubberheed,

As your in Edinburgh, why not pop down and have a look. Wading is very easy and long casts are not required.

I'm sure we can take you from a novice thrasher to an intermediate thrasher in no time.
