About Goodie Water

The Goodie Water is a modest lowland river offering mixed coarse fishing opportunities across its 15.3km length. The river features a blend of slower pools and gentle runs typical of Scottish border waterways, with good stocks of trout and pike in suitable sections. Access is generally available through riparian landowner permission and local fishing association membership; check with Scottish Borders Council or local ghillies for current permit requirements.

Anglers should note the close season on Goodie Water: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Access on most stretches is via club membership, an estate beat or a local permit — Scotland has no general rod-licence requirement.
