Morning folks

Thursday: the garden is covered in leaves that need sweeping and the winter blues are starting to set in, the new season seems oh so far away!

I have a few orders to process, so the packaging up and trips to the Post Office will keep me amused, but my mind is already drifting to the river .........

I have a confession ..... I bought a cracking new vice last year and I haven't even tried it yet   I don't think it'll be long before it is on the table in front of me

Cheers for now
Mike

Nippy out there this morning, time to get the kettle on methinks

Couple of niggles to sort on the Landy today, I appear to have lost my reversing lights and the gear lever is getting a tad stiff ..... I guess I'm going to have to get my hands dirty

Cheers for now

I have endured the joy of frozen gear change cables in Aberdeenshire..... might be that they're in need of either a damn good greasing or changing out  Very amusing running the car to thaw out the gear change assembly and not the car 

[Mike Barrio]

Had a play for a while Hamish and then ended up paying somebody else to get their hands dirty     

Couple of seized linkages replaced and a reverse light switch ....... all good now

Cheers

Nippy again this morning ....... I did a bit of work on a new page for Millbuies Trout Fishery last night, so once I've got my parcels done I'll do a few more tweaks to the page and upload it to the website.

Anybody heading out fishing this weekend? Grayling, pike, rainbows or some saltwater fun maybe?

Cheers for now

Sadly I have work, today would have been an interesting day to be out on the coast..... but I have to pay bills I guess

Grayling for me Mike. 

It was a long drive, very cold but I was in good company and  it was worth it. My first proper Scottish Grayling (first ever actually), I had a few of 3" last month. Chuffed to bits with it, not a biggie but it was pretty. The pic turned out great as well.




Hopefully the first of many in the coming months.

Great stuff Liam .......... nice one

Morning folks

Nippy one again, I'm guessing there will start to be a bit of ice on the shallower lakes, it used to take three days of frost at Haddo.

Nice wee video for a Sunday morning - "Danny MacAskill’s Wee Day Out" from Red Bull

Cheers for now

Just a wee note to let you know that if you are thinking of 'polishing up' your casting and fly fishing techniques in 2017 - I added some Fly Fishing Tuition pages to the website at the weekend, featuring Will Shaw, Hamish Young and Ben Dixon

Morning folks

Am obviously spending too much time on the PC ...... and starting to get to grips with how all this stuff works

Afternoon folks

For those that are wondering, today's photo is Littlewood on the Don

Cheers

Ace looking stretch of water that Mike!

Interesting beat pass it every week one for my bucket list however fishpal shows it as £42 all species per rod. Not sure the Don warrants these prices anymore considering the drop in salmon numbers year on year.
