The salmon catch on Tweed is phenomenal with some 15,250 recorded fish caught in 2004 (2003 13,900). It has one of the longest seasons (1 February to 30 November) and its autumn run is noted for the size and number of fish caught. Tweed has also been enjoying an improved spring run in recent years.

Fly fishing only is allowed between 1 February and 14 February and 15 September to 30 November. At other times spinning is allowed but the use of multiple treble hooks is prohibited.

The Sprouston Beat is situated downstream of Junction, separated only by Upper Hendersyde beat. Sprouston and Hendersyde beats enjoy a reciprocal arrangement where tenants fish the top half of the beat one day, and then the bottom half of the beat on the following day. Consequently tenants have exclusive fishing on the allocated part of the beat with no-one fishing from the opposite bank.

The fishing extends to some 2½ miles of double bank fishing with the top beat having nine excellent holding pools and the bottom has eight equally good holding pools.

Two rods fish Sprouston and each rod has the services of a ghillie. Each beat has two boats. Sprouston produces some of the highest catches per rod on Tweed with 555 salmon being caught in 2004, which year also enjoyed a marked improvement in the spring run.

Each beat has a first class fishing hut.
