How well do you know the River Don?

In that case i have a good idea where it is, not sure of the beat though, i was going to say Brux as i think thats the road up to the gamekeepers house on the Ardhuncart side.
You've thrown me with the side of the river, i've never fished the right bank that far upstream, only ever the left bank (looking downstream)

Sandy,

Nah you need to come downstream from Ardhuncart for this beat

Somewhere at the top of the Lord's Throat, around Glenton or Tilliefour maybe?

Cheers
Mike

PS: ........... nobody know where my photo was then? apart from Sandy

Getting close but not close enough. You're practically there...it is Monymusk but which Beat?

Richard

I would imagine beat 1 Richard, as that low bank lined with trees in the left of the photo looks like the track to get to the lowest of the Castle Forbes beats?

Cheers

So I reckon that you are in between the pine trees in the distance in this photo and on the other bank

...well you are not correct. Come on, only 12 Beats left

Bummer, I've used up that photo for nothing now

Doh!

But it was a good try

Nice picture Mr B

Okay Richard

Are you standing on Beat 4 looking at beat 5, downstream from the Mill Lade

It could be the bit of road, where i nearly stuck the car in the river, due to some black ice.

Sandy,

Not Beat 4 or 5....

Richard

« **Reply #176 on:** 10/03/2011 at 08:31 »

.....but both you and Mike were very close

« **Reply #177 on:** 11/03/2011 at 07:34 »

In the absence of any other guesses, it was Beat 3, upstream of Nibbet Stone by a wee bit. Shot taken in April 2003. Those of you with good memories will recall that we had hot weather and no rain for the 6 weeks prior to this-hence all the exposed stones. I had just fished a wonderful March Brown hatch which brought all the big fellas up and lasted an hour. It was seeing all these big Trout that cemented our thoughts into to basing our trips around Monymusk the next year (I was by myself that day) and 2004 was the start of our annual pilgrimages though we had visited Strathdon in 2002

Great stuff Richard

So, Sandy knows where this is, but does anybody else?

Looks like you need a clue? ...... This photo was taken on one of the Council Waters
