River Don 2018
« on: 02/02/2018 at 09:31 »
It will soon be time for the Annual March To The River Don to celebrate the start of the new season.

The river opens for Salmon fishing on Monday the 12th of February this year, so with the March being held on the first Saturday of the season, folk will be gathering at the Kintore Arms Hotel in Inverurie from 9am for coffee/tea on the 17th of February and the March will set off at 9.30.

I enjoy this event, it's great to meet up with folk that you haven't seen for a while :z12

Initial catches on the Dee are fine and so let's hope the Don reciprocates

Hi folks  :z12

I have just added a new page to the website for Inverurie Angling Association.

Click on 'Clubs' in the main menu, or click here to view the page https://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/inverurie-angling-association.html

All the latest details about club membership, the Inverurie Burgh Fishings and the Ardmurdo & Keithhall Fishings ..... I hope you find it useful :z16

Best wishes

The weather has been awful but has anyone braved the elements yet? 

I was due out today but the 50mph winds and snow put me off.

I fished Monday, and whilst the Salmon were absent, I hooked a 2.5lb Brownie. Bloody typical! Bet as soon as I go through the same pool with a nymph I will hook a Salmon.

Gale force winds today and tomorrow.

Freezing on Saturday.  I’ve also been told there’s still a fair bit of snow lying up beyond Alford although I’ve not seen it.

Just wish this weather would turn.  Clocks forward next weekend though, warm up by a few degrees and were good to go.

Dave, a lot of snow with us above Alford, but it's taking a fair shift the last 24hrs, rivers on its way up & coloured up with melt water., 30-40mph wind & Liam's enroute & still optimistic as ever 🤣
