The River Ardle is a pretty tributary of the
Shee/Blackwater/Ericht/Islay system. It rises
in the mountains to the east of Pitlochry and
then flows southeastwards via Kirkmichael and
Ballintuim to Bridge of Cally where it joins the
Ericht. The river is primarily known for its brown
trout fishing, but it does hold salmon. As with
many headwaters you need to be there at the right
time, but some of the locals indicate that good
sized fish can be caught. |
