I'm afraid I can't go either.  I have to go to John Lewis to complete my wedding list!   

Hopefully I'll get there next year.

[Magnus Aspler]

We will be there. Arriving on Aberdeen from Norway  tomorrow for one week fishing in the river Don and Dee. There is no fishing in Sundays so we will go to this  and drink some cheap beers and have funs.

I wish I was going
it would be fantastic to get to an event that is so well
supported by people who genuinely care about MY river 
I'm really missing getting out and about with the 3wt and the wild broonies
funny how these things are happening now when I'm not in the country 
yet for the rest of my life no one ever bothered. Guess that's the way the cookie crumbles
ho hum maybe by the time I get back it will have matured into a significant event in the Scottish angling
calender and not just a show for those who love the river. Here's hoping

anyway I hope you all enjoy the day

Gutted i couldn't make it along to the open day, my saturday night was a little messy!

Hope the day was a success and everyone enjoyed themselves!

It was certainly very very wet for most of the morning  Chest waders, good boots and wading jackets seemed to be the dress code 
Fortunately it cleared up in the afternoon and it seemed to me that everyone who attended enjoyed themselves; I know I did.
It was a pleasure seeing some old friends too
Funnily enough, it was the same four left at the end of the day having a debrief and tidying up as last year
Well done to Rick and Ben for organising this years event, I'll be down the road from Inverness for next years

Dissapointed I couldn't make it yesterday but it was the wee lads 3rd birthday and didn't get rid of the last visitor until 16:18 

really miffed but that's life
'the wind's aye in the workin' mans face!'

Hope you all had a good time

I did not realise I knew so many people!..Had a good if not extremely wet morning. Shame I had to be away by 11.30 as I would have liked to have seen the casting etc.

The cheeseburger was lovely

The chap I brought along from York was suitably impressed and wanted to come back next year, but will wellies!

Thanks to the guys who put it together, a big well done!

[Irvine Ross]

I watched the Met Office rainfall radar on the internet in the morning so I turned up just as the rain stopped. It was a good afternoon and a great chance to blether, swap ideas, pick up useful information and watch the demos by very good instructors. The casting competitions were fun too. Need to work on the accuracy, but I knew that already.

Many thanks to everyone who put in the effort to organise a good day. I hope it goes from strength to strength.

Cheers

Shame I had to work so I didn't get there until 4. Still got to meet a few folk that I hadn't seen in a while. Looked like it would have been a good day and will make sure to have a full day there next year.

[Richard Tong]

Great day;shame about the weather-reckon more would have turned out in the sun! Good to see some familiar faces and new ones too.

Sorry we missed you Noel, had to shoot off for a bit of fishing further south as it gave bright sun in Aberdeenshire today.

Had a good chat in the car on the way down discussing new ideas for next years Don Open Day!

Thanks for the Sedgehog Allan!

We had very poor weak fishing on the river Don and river Dee and the rain was very bad at the river Don day so we did not stay very long and there was not many other peoples there. We area back in Norway now for a few weeks and fishing is better now

Sorry you did not have a good week. As has been said many times in fishing circles "You should have been here last week"

Waterside beat had 21 Salmon and 84 sea trout for the week.  Here is a link to the river report
