Hmmmm, Don seems to be rising a little at Parkhill, maybe run off finally reaching the river. Looks like it has gone up around 10 cm, which in old money is 14 ferrets and a flump.

The Dee at Garthdee seems to still be dropping from a 10 cm rise.

The river I really want to rise has a little, and seems to still be going up slightly..so hope yet ;)

Don't know bout levels as I haven't seen the river in weeks but the don at Kintore is very coloured. Looks like the rivers in Central Europe a milky green colour.

lower don running a bit murky still, some - but not much - weed/debris coming down. Probably (hopefully) just fining down now, might be worth a cast. who knows!

Make sure you're well earthed, going fishing could be a hair raising experience right now  :shock
