Also, if anyone has any experiances with the campsite there it would be good to hear your opinions.

Although it's normally at the back end of the season chasing silver tourists. The lower bit is a bit more easily accesible than the upper stretch which is a little more overgrown. You'll be able to walk to the lower stretch from the campsite which is right on the river.

Cheers

looks a very good bit of water with some good streams.

Have you had much trout up there or is it mainly salmon fishing?

Cheers
