Looking messy, don't think I've ever seen that much water at the weir!!

I just hope the water drops before Monday. :wink

It's mental! Was on a lunchtime run today against the clock and I scared myself at times. Bearing in mind I drive a Quattro that I've always considered a road holder, aquaplaning to say the least!
Ben, the orvis shop is like a confessional, right? :X1 :z18

Spill the beans Trig.
Ref the water height, nip a spilt shot 6 - 8" above the fly and you'll be fine.
:roll

Your & Iains secret is safe mate :z4
Roads were shit on way back, looks like I'll be cut off tomorrow, the SEPA stations are still showing the Don to be on the rise, 5' at Alford and getting bigger :shock

Things just get worse, won't even get a cast at a Salmon tomorrow afternoon.
Might just have to go to Morrisons' fish counter and stare at the fish :cry

I've been invited to Park South on Monday. Park was showing 8ft 8inches on the gauge and rising!
You're right about Tomorrow being a washout Iain, I'm just hoping Monday isn't a washout too!

Interesting drive back from darkest East of England yesterday.
Every river I crossed after Glasgow seemed to be huge and in particular the Tummel was bigger and browner than I can ever recall seeing before in my travels :shock
Saying that the roads were fine until I hit the Beauly road coming out of Inverness. This was flooded - badly - at Inchmore and the diversion which (handily) wasn't sign posted was also in chaos due to some wee boy racer type idiot in a Renault Clio Cup getting it all very wrong on a sharp right hand corner. Served the silly little fokker right.
So the usual 15 minute run from Inverness home ended up taking nearer 50 minutes. Joy.
Still, could be worse. It could be raining this morning. Oh, it is. Ah well, better get on with building that Ark then.

Dude, if the water reaches your house then expect to see Kevin Costner passing your window.
And remember the animals went in two by two, so you'd have to take BOTH cats....
Glad you made it home. Lots of boy racers and salesmen wishing they had stayed at home yesterday down here too. One Vectra in front of one of my neighbours did 3 360s before having a meeting with the Armco. Guy thought he could do 90 through standing water. :X1

Idiot, he should have known that standing water means down to 70 mph :roll

Looks like the next three days are going to be the best for a good while, temps should just about reach double figures according to most weather sources and from Thursday onwards it looks like being a fair bit colder :z6
So I guess those pre winter jobs that need doing are going to keep me busy for the next few days then :z6
Hmmm ... last few days of the season might also be best fished now :z3

If only I didn't have an office job. Sorry if only I'd one euro millions and didn't have to have a job!
