About Biel Water

The Biel Water is a small Scottish stream in East Lothian, known for its clear waters and modest size, making it ideal for fly fishing enthusiasts seeking an intimate stream experience. The river flows through rural countryside and offers decent populations of wild brown trout throughout its 6.6km length. Despite its diminutive size, it provides rewarding sport for those targeting native trout in a relatively unspoilt setting.

The statutory close season on Biel Water runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Fishing rights on Biel Water are typically held by the riparian owner or a local angling association — check before visiting, as no rod licence is required in Scotland.
