The river offers good sport for trout anglers, particularly brown trout and sea trout in season, with excellent fly-fishing opportunities in its pocket pools and runs. Access is generally available along much of the burn, though anglers should check with local landowners and obtain necessary permits from the relevant fishing association before visiting.
