A busier week all round with more settled weather although a rise in water temperatures would encourage activity. The fish are feeding at variable levels and adjustment to fishing tactics have been very important. Some anglers are still operating with sinking or intermediate lines and lures, whilst others have now changed to floating lines with Buzzers and Nymphs. Both methods have been recording success. In the afternoons this week it was nice to see occasional insect life and fish are breaking surface more frequently. Some good catches were recorded this week with the leading anglers being;
L Davidson Macduff 21 fish Black Buzzers / White Fritz
P Cowie Fraserburgh 19 fish Lures (various)
J Dewar Fraserburgh 13 fish Buzzers
M Ewen jnr Turriff 13 fish Olive Buzzer
J West Fraserburgh 12 fish Cat's Whiskers
K Mackay Macduff 9 fish Lures
and the following anglers all account for 7 fish each;
G Wright Buckie Nymphs
S MacLean Fraserburgh Lures
N Thomson Turriff Buzzers
J Cutter Inverurie Hare's ear
