Camping/ weekend fishing the Don
« on: 10/05/2011 at 23:00 »
Hi Folks,

This is my first post on the forum.

I was wondering if anyone would able to help with some info please?

You can usually find me on the Tweed most Saturdays and Clyde on Sundays. However i am looking for a break sometime in July and was looking to come up to the Don.

I have never fished the Don before and I am looking for a decent beat that holds good streams for nymph and also Dry Fly. I am also looking for a nearby campsite or arrange to camp somewhere beside the river itself.

Any Information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Martin

Hi Martin
Welcome to the forum :z16

Your best bet for camping near the river is Alford ..... See http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/caravanparks/locations/alford.asp

You'll find info for some of the Don beats on the main site www.fishingthefly.co.uk and hopefully a forum member or two will drop you a PM with some tips for good waters to try.

Best wishes
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

the campsite looks really good and is probably just the thing I am after.

What is the fishing like around Alford?

Cheers
Martin
