It should be noted that the pool names opposite Little Blackhall are different. The names below refer to the Little Blackhall bank.
| Seat |
 |
Seat pool fishes best in medium to low water and used to be one of the most productive pools on the beat. Although Seat is convenient to the lodge, and is generally fished off the bank, it has not been heavily fished in recent years. It fishes better in high water from Inchmarlo.
|
| Cottage |
|
Although still classified as a pool, Cottage is seldom fished except in high water where Spey casting is almost essential from the Little Blackhall side. It does however fish well from Inchmarlo where it is known as 'Holly Bush' and 'Nellie Hogg'.
|
| New Fawn |
|
Despite its name, the pool has existed for many years and fishes well in almost any height of water. This pool can be amongst the most productive on the beat and is favoured by many fishermen. Being easily waded there is more chance of reaching fish lying on the far side from which it is productively and easily fished from the bank.
|
| Old Fawn |
|
Another favourite pool fishing best off the bank in high water or by wading when the water is at or around 2'6'' on the gauge. This is a long pool and tends to hold fish well. It probably fishes best from the Inchmarlo bank.
|
| Seaties |
|
A low water pool fishing best at around 1'6'' on the gauge. The fast water tends to restrict fishing to the summer months. It fishes well at all heights from Inchmarlo.
|
| Laird's Cast |
|
A low water summer pool where wading is necessary to reach fish lying in the deep water further out. This is a pool that is generally under fished by Little Blackhall, but easily fished from the bank at Inchmarlo.
|
| Rod's Cast |
|
Worth a cast but not very productive from Little Blackhall. This is the house pool on the Inchmarlo side and can be very productive in medium to low water, particularly for grilse.
|
| Roe Pot/Kineskie |
|
A long and beautiful pool, and one of the most famous on the Dee. The pool is fished off both banks in high to medium water, and wading in medium to low water from Little Blackhall bank in the Upper Roe Pot. Inchmarlo fish the Upper Roe Pot from the croys. Little Blackhall sometimes fish the Kineskie bank from the boat. This is the most productive pool for both Little Blackhall and Inchmarlo, since it holds fish throughout the season.
