Sorry Mike can't make this one as it clashes with the Spring Fling Loch Park gathering and was hoping a few forum regulars could make it along to the weekend, or even the Park get together (planned for the Sunday).

No probs, perhaps a few can make the next one.

It's going to be a bit quieter than the last gathering ......  but should hopefully be a good day! :z12

I'm looking forward to meeting Bracken.

Best wishes

Overcast is good, but it is looking a bit damp outside this morning, I think it is easing off though :wink...... I have always thought that Mother Nature should sort herself out so that rain falls during the hours of darkness :z4

Cheers

Hi folks :cool:

We certainly had a pretty wet morning for it at Haddo today and that held the surface activity back a bit I'm sure, but everybody caught fish in good numbers and it was great to meet Tony "bracken" and to see Gerry Stockwood enjoying his maiden voyage! We were netting a good variety of fish again today, plenty of Broons up to about 3 lb, some Blues and some nice Rainbows up to about 6 lb.

Kev Danby tempted 17 up to 6 lb, Tony Parker 15 up to 4 lb and Peter Scott had 11 fish up to 3 lb.

Thanks for another great day out - the weather was a bit damp to say the least but the "Broons" did not seem to mind. As we discussed yesterday, Mike, what a thrill to catch a 2lb Brownie - it was a pity that it was too wet to take my camera out because it was beautifully marked! Can't wait until the next one.
All the best
Peter
p.s. what happened to my customary photo?

maybe it was tipping it down for most of the day but it looks like you all had fish and fun.

I miss my tube.
Peter, yeah where's your picture?  :z8 old Danbers always gets two pictures in (favouritism as he fishes spiders I think  :wink).

Pity you didn't get a photo of your Brownie Peter, but 10 seconds in that rain and your solid state would be in a right state.
