The Newtyle beat consisting of 2 miles (3,2 km) of prime double bank fishing on the middle River Tay is located just downstream the pretty village of Dunkeld. The Newtyle beat produces fish regularly from the opening in January through to the end of the season in October, and with only 12 miles to the tide fresh running salmon with sea lice are taken throughout the season. 

The beat produces a 10-years annual average catch of some 116 salmon over its 16 named pools which have perfect holding areas for salmon during most water levels. The wading on the beat is good in most of the pools and in higher water very little wading is needed. The Newtyle beat has some fantastic and classic pools for fly fishing as well as productive spinning water and caters for both the novice and the more experienced angler.

The fishing is normally let to 6 rods but taking the beat exclusively 8 rods can be accommodated. There is also boat available suited for both fly- and spinning as well as classic harling. The beat can also accommodate corporate parties with tackle provided and Spey casting lessons.

In the middle of the beat the iconic Newtyle fishing hut is located. A charming wood lined hut with wood burning stove, cooking facilities and WC, originating from the Victorian age of 1886.

The beat is managed by fulltime ghillie David Gardner who holds a lifetime fishing experience of the Newtyle beat. David is also a keen Spey casting instructor.
