Fishing The Fly Scotland Forum

The Aul Troot

Another week passed with some excellent results, apart from "half a dozen" hardy souls we have to write off Monday and Tuesday due to high wind conditions which made fishing quite difficult and led to knitting classes for anglers using droppers. Discarded leader could be measured in kilometers. However Wednesday to Saturday produced excellent fishing conditions and good catches were recorded including:

B Milne          Whitehills         27 fish to 5lb
A Gibson        Gardenston      15 fish to 11lb
J West           Fraserburgh     14 fish to 4lb
R Donald        Macduff           14 fish to 5lb
I Burnett        Fraserburgh     13 fish
G Wright        Buckie              9 fish
S Anderson    Peterhead        9 fish
B Hutcheson   Turriff              9 fish

19 other anglers landed bags of 6 - 9 fish with many in the 3 - 5lb range. Satruday saw father and son, P and S Conlan from Stuartfield, boat 36 fish with father landing 24 against 12 for his son but the 7lb best fish going to the son.

Fishing could be almost equally divided between the anglers operating in the surface layer with Sedges and Klinkhammers and an assortment of Buzzers yielding well whilst the other half favoured intermediate lines with a variety of lures. Both were equally successful. The Blue Trout are providing excellent surface antics when hooked.

Delgatie Castle is now a Troutmaster water and all anglers including beginners are welcome. Boats, rods and gear available for hire. For all details phone Bob on 07980 999006.  :z15
