Sorry, can't help you James. I much rather wait until it drops to +/- 10" or so and is tea coloured.

Thanks for the reply Ian.

Went down to the Ury this morning for a few hours caught 1 around 10" but that was all i had in 2 hours.

James,

Perhaps a hothead (orange) bead head PTN or GRHE. I read an article about San Juan Worms working well in high coloured water down south  May be worth a go. How was the Ury looking- height and colour wise?

Nice fish btw

Nice fish James 

I had a couple hours at parkhill 6-8 fishing streamers had one half pounder apear from under my feet and try get the fly that was the only action, until i managed to hook and land this fine specimen not the greatest of fights but managed to land it one pic and then returned.



Could this explain why the fish have been a bit off this last week, was it their time of the month

[Hamish Young]

Oohhh.... nasty.

Pretty dire reading in the Brown Trout catch returns for Association waters, 3 fish for the last week  :

Sure, the conditions have been far from favourable and effort may be low, but it is a 'jungle' out there just now (unless you are Liam !)... here's hoping for a dry May.

Walked down to the Don at lunchtime. Still quite high but still a bit chocolatey too. Could see maybe 2" at the most. Difficult to tell if it's clearing or getting dirtier.

[Noel Kelly]

Whoever is doing the rain dance, can you stop now please.

[Matt Henderson]

It's getting on my tits too! Looks like the river is out for my day off on Friday too.

[Loxiafan]

I think if this continues it will be beyond Friday and right through the weekend......again  Well up at Kintore on the Webcam 

The Salmon spinners will be happy if it starts dropping. Monday past conditions were still very poor and it was the first day out this season that I didn't see a rising fish even though the water had dropped two feet sice Sat evening and was starting to clear. Few flies coming off too but not many.

I think April has had its chips as they say certainly as far as weekend fishing is concerned.

At this rate we will need the waders on just to get out of the jeep!

Bring on the summer!

[Mike Barrio]

Over the banks at Inverurie again this evening

[Andy Finlay]

Time to order a new spinning reel I think, mines bust and dont think a fly will be much use for a while.

[ugie fisher]

Was out today, water is high but running clear. Got two kelts on the fly and lost a cracking springer at the bank. Plenty of dries coming off but no browns to be seen.

Hi ugie

Guys 

Anyone been out recently? The water is still up but is it worth giving go? 

Liam

[danbruce]

Hi Liam,

Was out last night for a few hours with the Salmon rod, upper parkhill was well up and pretty dirty.
Looking at the river levels today and how the weather has been i might try further up river in a day or two for salmon again.

Guessing you haven't been out for a while?

Dan

[Liam Stephen]

Dan,

Damn  no I haven't been for 2 weeks now, seems like forever  how much longer do you think I'll have to wait before trying for the Brownies?  ???

Might try the Urie for a few hours tomorrow. Depending in what Fishpal is saying.

Cheers
Liam

[danbruce]

Your asking the wrong person for conditions for Brownies, so far this season i haven't got it right yet.
hopefully with a few clear days the river might be in good shape though.

Dan

[troutcatcher]

How is the Don today, Is it running clear? 
Was hoping to go out trout fishing on Thursday at Fintray but if not fishable may just have to go to Lochter for a few hours to keep my hand in. Cheers!
