The Steps Newtyle Beat

Here's the upstream end of 'The Steps' pool on Newtyle. Several huge boulders that sit in the deep channel here are what gives this pool it's name and reputation. It's a great taking area in high or low water and just downstream of a right hand bend in the river which provides sheltered water for salmon even in the highest of floods. The wading here is a delight in medium to low water heights.
