Yep, snowing in Inverurie

[Ben Dixon]

Not a touch, didn't even see a kelt.  Spoke to another guys fishing above Inverurie and same story from him.  Nice day to be out though.

I went up to Kemnay ADAA water.

I had 2 Kelts on the Willie Gunn, so well pleased with opening day

My fishing buddy had a small fish about 3 1/2lb which looked just like a grilse, perfect colour, small kype, tight clean vent and the scales were coming off on my hands as it went back but it was slim.
It has been recorded as a Kelt but i reckon it was fresh, we got some photos, so when he sends them to me i'll post it and we can discuss.

Nearly everyone was fly fishing that i met today, and most had had a couple of kelts, so plenty fish to pull your line up river and the river is clear but high, great fly water.

Cheers

Great stuff

[Ben Dixon]

Cool, I heard it was busy up above today hence I stayed down the bottom end    I don't suppose you kept any scales did you Sandy?

Water was really a bit big for where I was didn't hook bottom once despite having a 15' T20 tip on the end of the Skagit.

I never thought about keeping the scales, you're not the first person to ask
Was busy getting a couple of photos and then putting him back, then i washed my hands and net
never considered keeping any of them, wish i had now

Sandy

[Ben Dixon]

No worries, please try to get scales from anything you catch if possible.  Always useful 

Cheers

Was out my back door yesterday (Kemnay).
Water wise, could not have asked for better conditions. Plenty Kelts around, I had five all on the flee and my friend had 3 as well as a Rawner.
I fully expected to hear of at least one fresh fish coming off the system yesterday, but have heard of nothing as yet. I'm sure though it won't be long till the first of the Spring fish are caught.

Have a great 2014 season folks!

My first trip out will be in about an hour...no idea what the water will be like but just looking forward to getting tackled up and on the the bank.  Its been too long...

Managed a few hours on Friday after work so headed to a certain pool that treated me well last year. It was pushing through at some pace so I ended up fishing an S2/S3 shooting head and a 7" per second leader with a 1 3/4" copper tube.

The wind was howling across from the airport which made casting very unpleasant indeed. After two runs through the top of the pool I packed up and headed to Kemnay to try and avoid the wind.

Not a touch on either session, but my DH casting is slowly comming on, although I still hate fishing off the right bank!

[Rob Brownfield]

Fished Friday again, waste of time once more. River high and pushing through. 4 chaps just coming off the pool when I arrived, they had seen one kelt briefly and that was it for their morning.

Horrible wind, and lumpy water.
