The weather this week has produced some rain but with a minimal effect on water levels or flow as the ground and crops have readily absorbed any moisture. A little less of the bright sunshine this week and this has encouraged the fish to be more active on the surface and immediately sub surface. Whilst considerable numbers of fish are still falling to lures an increasing number are taking on the dry fly and buzzers in various combinations. Quick retrieved "wets" and nymphs have also enjoyed their share of success. Black or black/red have prevailed as the favourite colour combination.
Best catches this week were recorded by:
A Murray Gardenstown 14 fish
N Thomson Turriff 11 fish
G Burton Gardenstown 11 fish
B Cresswell Macduff 9 fish
J McCaw Turriff 8 fish
M Ewen jnr Turriff 8 fish
D Low Aberdeen 8 fish
Mike Ewen enjoyed a good fight with a well formed fish of 9lb 3oz to record the biggest catch of the week.
