Hi folks
Diawl Bachs, Spiders, Bibio, Damsels, the Daddy, Klinks, Buzzers and Hare's Ear nymphs have been on the menu at Haddo this week
Ron Ewen enjoyed a great 6hr session early in the week tempting 50+ fish up to 5 lb, Scott Johnston had 25+ up to 3 lb, Jonathan Petrie 16 up to 4½ lb, Richard Harries 15+ up to 3 lb, Ronnie Birnie 14 up to 2½ lb, Michael Troup 13 up to 8 lb, Len Davidson 13 up to 5 lb, Frank Thrall 12 up to 2½ lb, Derek Troup 10 up to 8 lb, Robert Mauchline 10 up to 7 lb and Malcom Ewen netted 10 fish up to 5 lb.
But this week's hot spell lead to me closing the fishery on Sunday due to the water temperature! This is the first time in 8yrs that I've made this decision
Before anybody gets excited, no I haven't lost any fish ........ but I do not wish to take folk's money if I feel that they have little chance of catching a fish due to the trout sulking and of course, it is not fair on the fish to increase their stress in these conditions.
I am opening for a 4hr fishing session in the mornings this week for the moment, as this is when the water is at its coolest.
I am monitoring the temperature, hopefully things will be back to normal soon and I could see things improving throughout the day today.
I didn't take many photos this week, but I'll add a couple to the report when I get a chance
Best wishes
Mike Barrio
