Title: Hello from the Pacific Northwest
Post by: sstew54 on 21/10/2014 at 07:32
Greetings to all of you fellow fly fishers in Scotland, the land of my ancestors.
I hope to come over the Atlantic next spring for a vacation with my wife and was hoping to fish on the River Don for brown trout or possibly bring my Spey rod along and salmon while in your country.
I would like to know what to expect as far the costs to fish etc.
I would also like to know what type of gear to bring and what method of fly fishing you would suggest.
Any information and help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Shane Stewart

Hi Shane
Welcome to the forum :z16

Plenty of time between now and then to get some replies about what gear might be useful. An initial look at the Fishdon website should help with an idea of pricing http://www.fishpal.com/Scotland/Don/?dom=Don (http://www.fishpal.com/Scotland/Don/?dom=Don) and you'll hopefully find some useful information on our site too http://fishingthefly.co.uk/river-don.html (http://fishingthefly.co.uk/river-don.html)

Best wishes
Mike
