Update on River Don, Bithnie Beat

In anticipation of legal matters reaching a satisfactory conclusion soon and in agreement with the Proprietor it has been agreed to open up the beat for online bookings from Friday 1 May 2026.

Some preparatory maintenance works have also been carried out, and more are scheduled.

As a reminder the rules are the same as most other beats on the River Don, and it will be subject to a maximum number of rods of 4 a day via the online booking system. These are now live.
