I've been going through some of my pictures over the last few days and i have found half a dozen nice shots of the Don for us to day dream about during the long winter

I've spoken to Mr B and he's happy for me to offer a section of useful hooks (a couple of hundred) for anyone /first person to PM me with the correct names of the 9 named beats shown in the photo's (some are double bank, some are not)

Some of them are quite easy, but some are not, unless you get out and fish a variety of spots.

Lets say the 1st of January 2017 as closing date for guesses, that way you get a few weeks for using the hooks. I'll put the names up after then as well

good luck and have fun daydreaming, i know i will 













If it gets too hard, i'll maybe add which ones are double bank and which ones are two beats at a later date.


Cheers

No point in my entering the competition, but I'll be dreaming about the Don having seen those pictures. Simply beautiful with some wonderfully fishy looking water.

A bit too parochial for us west coasters,    easgach 1

[Sandy Nelson]

There's always Google earth 

[Derek Roxborough]

But wont that be cheating?      easgach 1

[Sandy Nelson]

If you can work it out from Google earth, i'll send you a 5wt blank to play with
And i'll be seriously impressed

OH! you found my weak spot,    easgach 1

[Munro Reid]

Lovely river, only ever managed to fish it once.
I should sort that out.

[Sandy Nelson]

Nobody had a punt at this yet

I know its tough, but give it a go, i've bags of hooks here i want to go somewhere

As a hint,

Photo 1 is one beat
Photo 2 is technically 2 beats, but one overall beat name will do.
Photo 3 is one beat
Photo 4 is 2 beats
Photo 5 is 2 beats (same permit)
Photo 6 is 2 beats

5 of them are ADAA beats

tough! I think I can name 3, 5 & 6. the others look sort of like places I might have been.


good challenge!

[Derek Roxborough]

even Google  didn't give me many clues, I think a vague familiarity of the river may have helped  easgach 1

[Sandy Nelson]

You know 1 pretty well too Iain

[Iain Cameron]

took me a while, but I've got number 1; I was mentally confusing two parts of that stretch, but clear now. Haven't wet a line there in forever

[Sandy Nelson]

I knew it was tough, so if i tell you which beats they are, who wants to guess which one is which?

ADAA Kemnay .
Brux.
Cruives.
Fetternear.
Littlewood.
Lower Fintray.
Lower Parkhill.
Monymusk Beat 6.
Monymusk Beat 7.
Upper Parkhill.

I wouldn't enter but reckon I could/might get 3 right - but I don't know the ADAA waters particularly well/at all.
A tough thing unless you're a real Don aficionado
