Hi Mike, I tend to fish the Tyne and have done the Esk. Like yourself originally from Inverurie way and used to the Don.

Hi Mark - Welcome to the forum  :z16

It's been a busy couple of months and I haven't had a chance to explore any waters yet, but might hopefully see you on the banks somewhere at some stage.

Yep, it's pretty warm again today, I've been eyeing up the possibility of maybe having a cast for mackerel on the shore, they should be fun on the fly.

Cheers
Mike
