Hi folks

I'm busy writing a new version of the main website at the moment and I'm a bit short of photos. If any of you have some nice ones at the local fisheries, perhaps you would be willing to send them to me, or post them in this thread so that I can copy them from here?

A few more nice River Don photos might also come in useful

I have plenty for Haddo thanks

Best wishes
Mike

i love glentanar as a location, but it's not been looked after so well recently I'm afraid. Nice pics though

Hi Gents,

There is no float tubing, only three boats.  I'm not sure of the stocking "policy", last year I think there was only two or perhaps three stocks. However, I had some great days there last year.  Choose a day when there is no wind otherwise the fish hide on the bottom and are difficult to tempt and don;t be put off by sunny days, the fish don't seem to be bothered that much.  I regard Glentanar as a dry fly loch; the water is crystal clear with a slight whiskey colouration to it and the fish will come to a dry fly from a long way away.

An idyllic location as you can see from the photos.


Regs,

Great photos of the Don Ewan, thanks for posting them!

Wouldn't it be great if those visible shapes over the gravel in the 3rd photo were all trout

You can float tube at Glen Tanar.

I spoke to the wildlife manager today and he said that provided you tell the office when you book the fishing and you follow the usual safeguards to make sure your equipment is clean and not carrying any parasites or diseases, then float tubers are very welcome.

Right now the loch is frozen so best avoided unless you are a brass monkey.

Never seen a float tuber in all the years I've been going there...I hope that they would still restrict the number of rods though (e.g. a float tube + 2 boats max), as the loch is small enough as it is when three boats are out.

Access into the loch could be fun in a tube, the boat house end gets VERY weedy in the summer and the other access banks are very shallow which I would guess means that tubers would be waddling out quite a distance before they get any water to float in!  The bank next to the deer gate might be best as it is deep there.
