Is a croy a river fishing platform in Scotland?

Answer 1

It's normally a man made a row of stones or dyke pointing 10 degrees upstream to create resting places for salmon. It is not uncommon to have 2 croys together on opposite banks, this will help create fast water and in time a pool for salmon to rest down deep. Often fly fisherman will cast upstream of the fast water and allow the fly to pass through the chanel and into the pool.
