About Carse Pow

The Carse Pow is a short tidal watercourse in southwest Scotland, approximately 5.5km in length, offering opportunities for both saltwater and brackish water fishing.

This is a specialised fishery suited to anglers targeting species adapted to transitional waters.

Carse Pow observes the standard close season: No close season (tidal waters). 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.
