The river's character varies from tumbling mountain streams to more settled lowland reaches, providing diverse fishing opportunities throughout its 22km length. Access is generally good via public footpaths and permit fishing with local clubs, though anglers should confirm current arrangements with the relevant water authority before visiting.
