Brűlé's water is split into two stretches, the upper beat and the lower beat. The upper beat starts at Mackenzie and ends in Bird's Nest. The lower beat begins with Home Pool and ends with Blue Banks.


Traditionally, two rods and a canoe will work each beat in the morning and then switch over for the evening fishing. With the time constraints being what they are it is sometimes difficult to fish all the water. The high productivity and size of Jack Louis will leave little to no time to fish anything below it.
