Fishing this weekend? ....... What's the plans, who is going out to wet a line then?

Gus tells me the upper River Don has continued to fish well this week, Haddo fish have been feeding well and I believe the River Ythan has a good head of fish in it.

Cheers
Mike

I'm fishing the Deveron on Monday, so hoping for the river to be in good fettle  :cool:

Probably fish the Ythan mid week and Haddo in the tube Sunday , life is sweet  :z4

Club outing for me tomorrow - off to Lochter but my mind will be on the Don. Hopefully next Saturday I'll have a go for a Salmon or two.

Good luck if you're on the river.

I'll be fishing for new jeans and maybe a wee treat from somers (aye somers fishing tackle rather than anne summers) if I'm a good boy.    Best of luck to Iain and Michael.  By this time of the year the fish should be forming an orerly queue at Alford!   :z15

Black & Peacock Spider, Crunchers and Diawl Bachs retrieved quickly just under the surface seems to be the most productive tactics at Haddo so far today :wink

Colin meets "The Broons" :cool:
