Mark Merrison of Strutt & Parker sends along the following;-

"I have one week available on Tweed this autumn on Upper Hendersyde ( 3 rods, 1 ghillie):

w/c 30 July 2007 Cost of Beat for the week for 3 rods is £587.50 plus Strutt & Parker's 7.5% + VAT arrangement fee. Total £640

Please call me on 01635 576905 to discuss.

Regards,

Mark Merison"

The only problem is that it is a summer week, last week of July. I emailed mark about this but have not had a response??

Upper Hendersyde is also now under new ownership. Is this the last year that fishing is going to be on offer?

Is anyone interested in this?

Are part weeks (3 days) available?

I could potentially make the numbers up if another 2 are interested?

It seems a lot of money to fish what the record shows is the worst month on the beat..

There are better beats at lower costs than this one, novice anglers don't be sucked in to getting on here because of the low price. The beat is stunning in the back end bit of water that despite the exhorbitant price I would give the back teeth to get on.

A lot of "bad" weeks will start to come up now that rods are not prepared to pay top money for rubbish fishing.
