Mike,

The weather is fantastic out here In Brunei. Hopefully it will be fine at the beginning of April when I get back and I can buy (at a serious discount) all of Liam’s tackle and go out and have some fun. 😂

Tight lines to all for 2018 once the ice age is gone,

There are a couple of places available on the Ardmurdo/Keithhall Fishings below Inverurie this year, these don't come up often - so be quick to apply if you fancy joining :wink

You'll find details on the IAA page here: https://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/inverurie-angling-association.html

Cheers

Mike,

Is there a link to the online permit for the Inverurie Burgh Fishings yet?

Cheers

Hi Ashley,

Sloan's are selling the Inverurie Burgh Permits this year and I don't think that there is an online option now.

Anybody applying for the ardmudo/keithall fishing will likely cross paths with either me or Sinclair senior this season. Not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing 😂

Cheers,

Not yet Ash, might be a while yet, if it is done this season.

As Brian said ......... probably best to drop in to Sloans and get one there :wink

Sinclair senior will be there on Monday, my first outing of the season, looking forward to freezing my nads off having just arrived home today after three months in Asia.

Hi Colin

I think all the Ardmurdo/Keithhall permits are available from Watsons Ironmongers.

Cheers

That's certainly where I paid for mine and seniors anyway  :z16

I can't wait to get back from Asia and take a wander along some new water to me  :z16

Fished the middle river yesterday...one big thump on a streamer (water was very high but clear(ish) and that was the only fish life I experienced.

There were some very sparse hatches in the afternoon sunshine, but the flies were tiny, no more than 3-5mm in length (not including the tail). No fish rising on the bit I was on, but a fair few anglers out. Did not see any fish being caught.

Went up from 10am - 5pm yesterday, glorious sunshine but very nippy when the clouds covered. A very sparse hatch arrived about 1pm but it was almost batch-like. Every 10 mins some tiny olives would arrive, then some MBs then finally a trickle of LDO’s. This would rinse and repeat every 10, and I saw zero fish rising to the occasion. Had one 10”er for my days efforts..






Good to be out however!

Cheers

Fished upper river on a Friday.  Freezing and snowed most of the day.  Didn’t see or touch anything.  Water was very clear and a lovely beat despite the weather.

Fintray yesterday and just as per comments above.  High water, cold and the odd short lived hatch.  Saw a few sporadic ripples but didn’t touch anything.

Not a good start at all.  Was good to be out though, even in the snow.

More snow forecast this week.  Fed up to say the least with this weather.
