About Elliot Water

Running through Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, Elliot Water is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Elliot Water hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic mackerel

  When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.

• For Piked dogfish

  When targeting piked dogfish, try chumming with oily fish scraps to attract them to your fishing area, improving your chances of a catch.

• For European flounder

  When using lures, fish slowly along the bottom with occasional twitches to attract attention; flounder are ambush predators.
