Very nice Geoff. I might have to try and find my fishing gear again and get out for a walk.

Fished the lower river today. Could do with about 6inches more water but there were a few fish showing. Strangely enough Dad had a flattie out of one of the pools!

Oh and the water was a bit cloudy? Is that due to the warm weather and no rain for a wee while?

Cheers Matt

It's a small saithe/coley. Pollack have a small beard like bit under the chin.

Got a loan of some geysers 5wt fly rod this week, so keen to give it a try I snuck out tonight to throw a surface fly or two about.

Had a pleasant time bending it 4 times with the 'typical' sized fish for the average bloke at this time of year.

Thanks enB (anag.)

Went for a wander at Inverurie this morning, the river is very low, running clear and there were some nice trout rising just before midday.

Cheers

I am up on the Don in just over a weeks time. Do I take it that the infrequency of posts on this topic indicates catches are still disappointing?

So I presume no further updates implies fishing is still dire? I am fishing Thurs-Sat and in meantime doing a rain dance!

There are stories of fish here and there.  My father had one a few weeks back and saw one being taken last week.  They were both lower river.  I'll be joining you in the rain dance.

that sounds about right - looking at the ADAA catch reports  there's been a fish or two caught here and there across all the Don beats.  I've seen the odd fish, mostly coloured, showing.  Always worth a cast

Weather forecast looks good for today. By good I mean heavy rain! Fingers crossed!
