Haddo Fishery

Hi Mike

Really glad to hear that you have found a solution to the lack of home time
& the need to work on your lines, other than selling to a sindicate

Fishing in the Northeast would certainly not be the same without Haddo
& you at the helm

Couldn't agree more. It's a magical place.

A solution? Do tell

Yeah Mike - What's happening? Are you taking it off the market?

Hi guys

It is a couple of months now since I put the fishery up for sale and the only serious interest has been from folk wishing to set up syndicates. I would prefer this not to happen if possible, as I know there are many Haddo regulars who would miss being able to fish the loch

So I have had a bit of a rethink ..... and Haddo is now open daily from 9.30 to 5.30 ( by advance booking only ) and with a fishing permit price of £20 per angler.

I have updated the website information, please see: http://fishingthefly.co.uk/haddo-trout-fishery.html

Best wishes

Great news Mike,

Have enjoyed Haddo every time i have fished and learned a lot each time i visited, knowing that it will still be available to fish is fantastic.

Hopefully be able to pop over for a day when i get back from holiday.

:z4Really pleased to read this one, good news indeed!

Selfish I know, but I really enjoy my (far too) infrequent visits to Haddo and it's always a pleasure to drink a coffee and chat with you Mike. And then chase the fish!!

All the best for the future.

Colin.

What set up did you capture those with Mike?

« **Reply #16 on:** 07/07/2012 at 23:02 »

Hi Matt

Just my usual zoom lens on the D50 and the pics were taken from the hut ..... must get a polarising filter one day

Cheers
Mike

nice, very nice Mike

Did you take any on 'burst' mode? I'm sure that'd throw up some cool shots.

« **Reply #18 on:** 08/07/2012 at 00:19 »

The burst mode on my old camera is a bit slow, the main problem is guessing where they will rise next Iain

Great fun though

Cheers
Mike

What size is the front of your lens Mike? I might have a polarizing filter kicking about.

Great picture by the way.
