RIVER ANNAN HALLEATHS House pool, across from the car park and fishing hut in the middle of the beat The beat is the right bank looking downstream from just below the Kinnel confluence to just above the Lockerbie to Lochmaben road bridge. It benefits from the Dryfe confluence, with the Kinnel confluence just to the north. Wading is excellent in most parts, being small shingle, and would seem to fish best with about one and a half foot of a rise. Apart from salmon and sea trout it holds a good head of grayling and brown trout. LocationThe River Annan is in the South-West of Scotland. The mouth is at Annan, 15 miles East of Dumfries, on the Solway Firth. Halleaths is about 10 miles upstream, slightly to the west of Lockerbie and east of Lochmaben, just 5 minutes drive from the M74. Access Three car parks divide the water into two sections, allowing easy access on foot. The majority of the water is within a quarter of a mile of the car parks.
