East Burton Estate – Beat Nine (River Win)

Plan a sessionCheck river level

Beat 9, or the River Win as the estate calls it, is a narrow double-bank stream for short-rod fly fishing. Expect small wild brown trout in clear water, with a proper little-stream feel rather than main-river fishing.

The lowdown

  • This is the tucked-away, narrow-stream end of the East Burton fishery. It’s a cracking option if you like close-quarter fly fishing and sneaking along smaller water.
  • The estate describes Beat Nine as suitable for short-rod fishing. Think compact gear, tidy loops and accurate little casts rather than launching line across a broad river.
  • It’s double-bank water, so there’s fishing on both sides of the stream. The beat is still narrow, mind, so stealth and a light touch should matter.
  • The wider fishery has clear water, riffles, pools and glides, plus overhanging trees. That gives you plenty to read, even on a modest-sized stream.
  • The fish named for Beat Nine are small wild brown trout. This is wild trout water, not a stated stocked beat.
  • The estate’s wider fishing includes plentiful grayling, while salmon and sea trout may be fly-fished for in hatch pools and runs across the fishery. Those are not specifically described for Beat Nine itself.
  • Fly fishing is the stated approach. On a stream like this, an upstream dry fly or delicate nymphing setup fits the short-rod brief nicely, with a bit of careful wading where appropriate.
  • Trout fishing runs from 1 April to 15 October. Grayling and coarse fishing runs from 16 October to 14 March, so there’s a clear seasonal change in what’s available.
  • Beat Nine costs £40 per day from 1 April, rises to £50 per day from 1 May to 30 June, then returns to £40 from 1 July to 15 October. The estate also lists grayling at £35 per day from 16 October to 14 March.
  • The estate provides an interactive Google beat map, handy for finding the beat while fishing. Booking and availability are handled through the East Burton Estate website.

Methods: Fly fishing on a narrow stream, with the estate highlighting short-rod fishing. The wider fishery allows fly fishing for salmon and sea trout in hatch pools and runs, while small wild brown trout are the key Beat Nine fish.

Rigs & methods

  • Typical approach, not confirmed at this stretch

    Fly fishing to the flow

    River trout hold where food is delivered by the current. Most trout waters are fly-only — check the rights holder's rules first.

    How to set it up
    • Upstream nymph or dry fly in the riffles and glides.
    • Approach from downstream and keep low.

    Typical kit: Rod: 8–9ft #4–5 · Tippet: light fluorocarbon or copolymer. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.

Bait to consider

  • Flies only on most trout waters — check the lodge rules
  • Bait/worm ONLY where expressly permitted

Common starting baits, not a local "top bait". Bait bans override everything here.

When it suits

Depends on the water's season and stocking — ask the lodge what's open.

General seasonal pattern, not a forecast.

Check the rules

  • Fly fishing is the stated fishing method.
  • Trout fishing season: 1 April to 15 October.
