Hi matt,

Depending upon where you are intending to fish, it could be O.K.  Should be fine from Alford up I would think, will have a look at Kintore on way home.

Cheers

Struggled to get any interest from the Browns tonight but did manage another nice Sea-Trout @3 lb (looks smaller but I've re-checked my weigh net).


It took a PTN - yes on the 2wt.

Jim, yes the last one was a Sea-Trout too.

Must be a right stockie bash on the don Iain 
You seam to be having some great sport lately, well done 

[Iain Goolager]

Yeah lady luck seems to be on my side at the moment but normal service will be resumed soon I'll bet.

I plan on getting away to Lower Parkhill this weekend for the first time ever fly fishing a river. Tell me, is it fishable from the bank? as i don't have waders...

Also, any hints or tips for this location?

Cheers.

I want one of those Iain! Tried something new this morning. Was on the river for 4am... I was hoping to see more activity but the bigger fish did not oblige. Saw 1 big fish rise once and heard another. Good few small fish rising as usual. Lovely being out that hour of the morning will def try it again. Had a few small fish and lost what I think was a very small sea trout, how small can they be? This was prob less than 10 inches.

Managed to get the trout rod out again this week and I've been rewarded with some fantastic sport. There has been a
lot of fly activity Yellow Mays, sedge, spinners etc. All of these fish pictured have been caught on paraduns best at 5lb with most of the action happening between 10-11pm. Scott

That's very impressive Scott well done. Great looking fish there. It's some river

[emerger]

Cheers, Can't wait to get back to the river tonight, mind you the wife might have other ideas. Scott

[Noel Kelly]

I hear you I have an ongoing battle over that myself!

[Jim Eddie]

Don't we all Noel

Ladies!
 
I find a well placed donkey punch prevents any further grief when planning a trip down the river. It's the weeping child at your heels that's hard to dodge.

I see the pictures now Scott,

That's a fair plethora of big troot, well done.

 Time to pull out the 3 or 4wt - just in case.

firstly, otters should either be in a zoo or in a kids storybook (perhaps borrowing a set of mittens or a scarf from a hedgehog for example)  pool spoilers

Had a jaunt down the lower Don tonight to see what's going on.

20 min's in saw a nice wild fish come to the nymph...................



Only seemed to manage some smallish stuff then hit by a nice Sea-Trout which threw the hook on the first leap 
5 min's later his brother fancied the PTN but he too escaped this time at the net 

10 min's later this obliging chap was netted after an impressive show of gymnastics.



 No large Browns but enjoyable evening all told
