Cullen Burn

Following a day trip today where we parked at the beach and walked over the burn towards the Harbour, the sea pool under the viaduct looks very fishy!

There's also a video on Facebook from 2018 showing a significant shoal of either Salmon or ST sitting in the bay waiting to run the burn.

Has anyone fished here before? Is it worth a trip back up with a rod at some point?

That would halve been finnock in the burn. I have walked up the burn but not fished it, plenty trout rising.
You get permits from the tackle shop / hardware shop on the main street.

I have fished the Cullen burn back in 2015 think It was June 🤔 if I remember it was £5 for a trout permit from the hardware shop in Cullen, I had a walk along the burn the day before and a lot of it was hard access but there was a few openings and made for some great fishing, plenty of Finnock and some decent fighting browns also seen a few salmon, mainly upstream nymphing but managed a few swinging Pennels, teal blue silver, green wells ..  always wanted to go back but never had the chance , maybe this year.
