I was lucky enough to get a subsription to Trout and Salmon for my christmas this year.  I was having a quick look through this months edition last night and Ben Dixon gets a mention!

Matt,
you really need to get some fishing done.   :z15

Your brain's turning to slush  :z7

Are you braving the elements this weekend or are you making doilies? (not bothered if I haven't spelled that correctly as I'm a bloke) :z3

actually I'm going to see a man about getting our wedding rings made.  Its all rock 'n roll in my house. However the 3wt is nearly finished so I'm hoping for either a trip to Haddo next friday or going to Sloans and getting my seasons ticket and having a few casts on the Don for silver tourists...

for silver tourists I will be using the partridge.  I'll have to wait until march to get a shot of the 3wt on the Don.

Better make that April or you will have the bailiffs on your tail.

Matt,

There are some beats that open from the 15th March, this is the legal opening date and it is up to the proprietor whether or not they open on the 15th or the 1st April.

Was out casting Sunday & Monday, there were a few stoneflies about and there was a few trout moving to them.  It was warm for a few hours both days in the sun but after the winter we have had I did not expect to see anything happening so soon.  Fished for salmon with Hamish last year about the same time at Inverurie and experienced the same, some big fish moving too.

Cheers

Ben
