About Brox Burn

Brox Burn is a modest Scottish stream characterized by fast-flowing, clear water over stony substrates, typical of upland burns in the Borders region. The river offers opportunities for trout fishing in a relatively unspoiled setting, with good access to much of the middle and lower sections where pools and runs provide productive holding areas. Fishing is generally on a permit basis through local estates and fishing clubs, so advance arrangement is recommended.

Brox Burn observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. No rod licence is needed in Scotland, but permission or a permit from the estate, club or riparian owner is usually required.
