Beat 3 - Craigshill Rugby Club to Howden Rock Ramp
BEAT DETAILS
Our Craigshill to Howden beat also offers some great easily accessible fishing! A mix of both tarmacked and dirt paths follow the river the full length of this beat, meaning this beat has something to offer everyone.
A mixture of long slow glides, fast riffles and deep pools make this beat perfect for the bait, fly or lure angler!
PARKING
This beat has limited parking opportunities which include:
Livingston Rugby Club Car Park
Livingston Rugby Club have a large car park located just a short walk (approx. 100metres) down to the river. Please do not use this car park if Livingston Rugby Club have a game/match on.
This is on street parking so please park considerately. Parking near the play park is only a very short stroll down to the river.
Although Howden Rock Ramp (pictured left) may look natural it is indeed manmade to allow fish easier passage over an old weir, therefore fishing is not permitted 50m upstream or downstream of this.

Real Time River Levels
Did you know that you can check the current water height of the river Almond at Almondell Country Park?
The SEPA water level monitor sits just down from the canal feeder bridge (the green bridge, pictured in the background here). This Bridge is named the ‘canal feeder bridge’ as it carries the main source of water from the river to the Union Canal.
