I was watching the Tay opening day and march to the River on TV tonight and remembered that our club, Inverurie Angling Association, also has our own one to the Don.
The March at Inverurie this year is to be held on Saturday 16th February, 1st Saturday of the 2008 season, we meet at the Kintore Arms Hotel in the High Street, just along from Sloans just after 9:00am.
The March leaves the Kintore Arms Hotel at 9:30am, led by a piper, and goes down to the River at the Bridge where a local dignitary will bless the River for the forthcoming season, you can join us in a wee dram if you wish (juice for the kids).
This event is organised by IAA but as always there is an open invitation to all.
As per last year it is a great chance to meet up with some like minded fellow fishers.
I have attached a link from Mike's `Fishing The Fly' website under the heading `River Don Opening March'.
