If Mr B and Bri are sharing then we'll pick you up in balmedie on the way through.
Will contact you nearer the time for a time and place.
We'll be coming down the A90 anyway so Balmedie will suit me fine :z16

Sorted :z16

Working on the assumption that there's going to be no problem booking the number of boats we need then space is pretty much unlimited :!

I'll bung you and Kev on the list  :z18 Which now reads:

Mike B
Hamish
Spiderman & 'little me'
Jedi
GRHE
Soundmixer
Moffty
An Chuileog
Rabbitangler
Bri
Pbibio
Kev Muir
Ben Dixon
Baz

That's 7 boats already  :cool:

Consider yourself on the list there Baz  :cool:

I actually called Lintrathen today.... just to be safe.... and have reserved 6 boats with the possibility of another 2.
No problemo if we end up needing more :wink

As we're coming as a 'sort of' club (fishingthefly forum) we get the preferential rate of £36 per boat  :wink
I suspect the easiest thing on the day will be to pass the necessary folding to me and I'll deal with the fiscal side of things.

I suggest we all meet up at the carpark before going down to the lodge, if we can all be at the carpark for 09:30 that'd be ideal :z16 As I think we get to fish from 10:00 to 17:00 - that's to be confirmed.

The only thing I'd like to see organised before the day is who fishes with who. More specifically those with boat handling experience (with outboards) matched up to a fishing partner who doesn't have that experience :z17 Should make the day all-together more enjoyable that way  :cool: I suspect that 2 anglers per boat is best, although they say you can have three in a boat I think 2 is more 'comfortable'.

This could be the biggest forum gathering away from Haddo...... jings  :shock :cool:

We need one more angler to make that 8 boats.......

At this timer of yearn it used to be 9.30 till dark, the evening session being too short, but that could have changed.

2 people per boat sounds like a good plan and you could even change the boat pairings after a lunch break to let the members meet other anglers and check out other tactics  :z4 , just an idea!

Hi Hamish

Yes, 2 per boat is much better ( and safer ) and your point regarding boat experience is spot on :z16

I have a wee bit of boat experience :z7 and will pair up with Brian :cool:

Thanks for doing all the footwork by the way! :z2

Drogues could be tricky? ..... Do they not supply them?

Cheers

It's actually a pity they don't allow tubing cos this could have been the mother of all tubing days :z4

Sadly not, it would be a useful addition to their fleet but I can see why they wouldn't want to provide them.

Easy to make though, also cheap enough to buy  :z16

Yup, use the boats as 'taxis' and paddle around a bit. Faniced trying that on Watten this year but, sadly, will have to wait until '09  :z6
