Nae really Baz its about 3 acres , the biggest ones up this way are Pitfour , cracking place , but shut as the estate is up for sale , you could boat bank or tube it. Paul Young fished it once on one of his shows , it was stocked but there were some cracking wild Browns as GRHE can testify 

The other big water is Fedderate , again its stocked but has some belting wild Brownines , its sometimes difficult though but I've had some belting days , its really cheap you can fish from 09:00 to midnight for a Tenner and keep 3 fish if you want to, it would be a belter to tube but not allowed. Its bank only and no wading which is a shame.

Rescobie tubing?   

Baz, you have your uses mate, mucker chum 

I've had a wee jaunt to Kintore yesterday and for an hour this afternoon - not fishing  trying to tire a certain wee monkey out.

Walked to the end of the beat (downstream) yesterday with the aim of reaquainting myself with that seldom fished water - there is a stretch with two or three deep runs close to the RH bank which I'd like to bug with tungsten nymphs.
On the way back upstream I saw a nice Brown of at least 1 3/4lb (could have been nearer 2 lb) dart from under the merest of overhangs on my bank. I don't often see that caliber of fish walking the bank.
There was a scattering of Olives drifting down but never seen one fish  rise - heard one - never seen it.
Today I walked over the bridge at Kintore and the water upstream was alive  (well there were quite a few fish taking olives) mostly small fish but there was one around the 1/2lb mark which had me standing watching for 10 min's or so cursing the fact that her indoors hadn't conceived 10 years earlier.

I guess that's the Salmon given a back seat as I spent almost no time fishing for Browns early doors last season.

Good luck tomorrow lads

What time were you down yesterday Ian? I was there from 11 until about 2. Only saw 1 fish rise and couldnt reach it with the wind and my crap casting. Had a walk along Inverurie today and a smattering of olives hatching but nothing rising. That cold wind seems to rightly put them off.

I was on the Don yesterday and there was a good hatch of LDOs that started about 11:45 and petered out about 12:15, there were very few trout moving to them.

Strange thing the timing of emergence. Further upstream on the Don the hatch only started at 2:45, just  as the wind picked up, the temperature dropped and the rain started. Only saw one rising fish and another angler got it. A typical early season day

Roll on next Saturday.

[Paul Rankine]

Hi Bigtroot , (aka Barbra) ,
             How did you get on at Rescobie ?
Maybe we should think of a wee Forum outing there ? We just need to set a date and anyone interested can post that they are coming . Can we just turn up with our tubes or do we need to book ?

Paul.

[Barry Robertson]

Hi Heather/Paul,
       I have been out on rescobie alot in the last 2 weeks and its fishing well there, noticed someone tubing it on friday so will ask about it tomorrow morning when i get my permit and report back with my findings 
A forum outing there would be great and will ask also tomorrow if i can block book boats or if a deposit would be required 

[Paul Rankine]

Hi Barbs,
            That would be great . Not too far for us NE lads and not too far for you either. Looks like it has some decent fish as well which is always a bonus for the blobbie fishers amongst us  

Look forward to it .

Cheers,

Paul.

Very true Jim, i also believe its confidence in a particular pattern 
If i have no confidence i normally whip it off prety quick and dont really give it a fair chance

I was in my usual haunts around Glenkindie. I was told the fishing was better the day before. Ever heard that before?
