That rain was pretty heavy last night :shock Haddo was up by about 18 inches when I arrived this morning. Luckily, I managed to adjust the flow levels before it came over the banks, but the lower end has coloured up with the run off from the park.
I hope poor Bob hasn't suffered too much at Delgatie :z6
I bet the rivers are high, I hope we don't get weeks of this again this year as it can lead to the rivers being unfishable during the Autumn salmon runs ...... and can totally rule out any good brownie sport over the last few days of the season.
Fingers crossed that it will stop soon! :z3

I'm hoping its not like last year too Mike. The heavy rain in September and October pretty much wiped out fishing until about February for me, and even then was it was still pretty touch and go to get a day at Haddo!

The loch is a bit brown today as I expected, but fishing well :wink
Cheers

Am I the only one watching their plans for a weekend fishing slipping away from them with all this rain? Gales on Friday and "torrential" rain Friday into Saturday.
Its not looking good. :mad
-
I feel your pain Matt. My better half is away all weekend and I had loads of fishing planned. Looks like its all slipping away :cry
-
Using the weather link at the bottom of the page, it's not looking too bad guys :wink
No rain, a wee ripple at 2 to 9mph and warm enough at 11 to 13C for tomorrow
Light rain in the afternoon, followed by heavy rain in the evening, windy at 17 to 23mph and fine at 11 to 12C for Friday
No rain, breezy at 8 to 12mph and fine at 9 to 13C for Saturday
No rain, breezy at 12 to 14mph and fine at 10 to 13C for Sunday
But all this can change of course :z4 :z4 :z4
Cheers

The Don is well up this evening and probably rising. My weekend is probably screwed anyway. I may have to go to France for work or if not its a night out followed by a days shopping :cry with herself for her birthday.

4ft 3" on the gauge this morning. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't bothered booking tickets for the Don this weekend.

Enough with the negative waves :-X there'll still be fish to be caught and (if last night in Aberdeenshire was anything like it was up here) a wee gentle frost or two before the weekend might fine things down a smidgen :z16
Think positive - mind you, that comes from the man who'll be at a wedding this weekend and not actually fishing :wink

You're right Hamish, I should focus on one good day on Saturday rather than the sneaky double header (easy tiger :wink) I had hoped for. :z18
-
More on the way tomorrow Mike..2 inches suggested in Moray...should hit us about lunchtime tomorrow.
Fore warned is fore armed ;)
-
I should have known that Hamish would know best. Gauge is well down now. I think I'll head out tomorrow morning before the rain...
-
Did you get out before the deluge today Matt?
Doubt there will be much fishing tomorrow!

Yes, got out for about an hour but it wasn't much fun. The wind made casting interesting.

Had a look at the river at Kintore and levels don't look bad at all not too coloured either. (I know fek all about good Salmon levels)

I thought with the way the rain was coming down the river would have been in the fields. You all set for the shopping Noel? :z7
-
I thought the same, was surprised when I saw the river. The shopping...ya cant wait, very excited.
-
Nightmare mate but needs must sometimes. I will be thinking about you when i am at Haddo :wink
-
Aye good luck with that noel. I hope you've got comfy shoes looked out!
-
Actually she hates shops!! She normally spots something she likes within minutes and as long as its expensive enough then that will do :z6. Then I steer her towards the nearest pub :z18
-
You are lucky mate. Quick whizz round the shops then beer o'clock.

Can you get mrs noel to have a word with mrs mdh?
