About River Cammarch

The Cammarch fishing is one large beat, some three and three quarter miles long, with two starting points. The upper reaches are classic upland stream, fast flowing over rock and gravel, while below Beulah the river is for the most part relatively slow and meandering. The Passport promises feisty wild brownies that give a good tussle on light fly gear. Wading is necessary for most of the beat and varies in difficulty. The Passport suggests a rod of 7 to 8 feet rated 2 to 4 weight.
