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.

The river Tweed is perhaps the best known of all salmon rivers in Scotland, and is over 100 miles in length from its source in Dumfriesshire to the North Sea at Berwick-Upon-Tweed. For the last 19 miles it forms the boundary between Scotland and England.

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.

Situated immediately downstream of Junction and upstream of Sprouston, Upper Hendersdye comprises approximately one mile of double bank fishing with four excellent holding pools which are the Upper Winter Cast, Winter Cast, Mill Stream and Ferry. The beat yielded some 295 salmon during 2004, and has a five year average of 231 salmon. There are two boats on the beat and the fishing is for three rods.

There is a full time ghillie on the beat and his services are included in the rent. The beat is normally let by the week for a maximum of three rods. Occasionally, half weeks will be let.

Rods on Upper Hendersyde can enjoy one of the best rod rooms on Tweed which has full facilities and has glorious views up and down the river.
