May as well start as opening day has arrived. Tight lines for those brave enough to give it an early bash

A bonnie first day of the salmon/ST season but far too cold today for me

It’s another day closer to March 15th though, when the real fishing starts

Really enjoyed the River Don March get together this morning, great to catch up with everybody

Hi all, I wanted to book a day for 2 rods on the Kildrummy beat in April - nothing on FishPal, no response to an email to the Kildrummy Inn and no answer to the phone number supplied on the Kildrummy Inn website - any suggestions?

Thanks

Colin

Thanks  Mike - done that now...

On an other point - I had a day on the Culquich beat last year - we only had time to fish below the bridge that takes you over to the house down to the pool where the Kindy burn comes in (I had a nasty fall in the river and had to cut the trip short, I just wondered if any one had any experience of the river above the bridge up the the Bucket corner, where it's best to park etc. Any info/experience would be gratefully received.

Tough going so far, 1 sea trout kelt. Absolutely worth being out after a long winter break though! The fish seem to be holding in different areas this year.

Bit of a change to the weather today at Upper Parkhill. Cold and windy.

Not much showing, although I had a fair amount of interest in a 15g Toby in the Fae Me Well pool (where the first ADAA Springer of this season was caught I think?). An out of season but beautifully coloured brownie took the lure for two acrobatic cartwheels but then came off.

Great photo Andrew    .......... and yes, that wind is cold today!

Less than two weeks to go 

edging closer. Looking out of the upstairs window, I can see the Don at Fintray blowing upstream in exactly the way it shouldn't ;-)
Don't you just love spring weather. Walk the dogs most days along the Don around midday. No signs yet of any fly life where I have been, so it feels like it might be quite a slow start this season.

Still, it'll be good to get out and rediscover all the holes in my waders that I haven't thought aboot fixing

Looks like the first day of the 2022 trout season on the Don is going well for Stevie Corsar 

[Sandy Nelson]

What better encouragement to get off my arse 

[Stevie Rennie]

Cracking trout and seeing it seriously adds to the itch to get out but I can’t just yet
