More news from opening day!

                                          Opening day fish at Ballogie

A bit more news from the opening day for you to see. Recieved a couple of photos from Mark paterson with his Springer, it's great to see such quality fish in the system, most anglers will tell you that a typical Dee Springer has an average weight of 8lb but so far all the fish we've had have been double figures!



Today was a tough one due to the fact we had Grue in the water till about 11am, we we're still getting the old Salmon and seatrout kelt but once it warmed up we hit lots of kelts and also had a Baggot from the Sands pool at Ballogie.


Ken Reid presenting Charles Jeffrey with a box of flies tied by me for catching the biggest fish on opening day.

Today it was Carlogie who got off the mark with a great fish from the Village Pool weighing in at 18lbs, it was caught about 3.30pm just as the temperature started to change, by 4.00pm the rings had started to ice up on the rods then the reels froze as well so we had to call it a day, we are due a hard frost tonight with minimum temperatures down to around -6C so tomorrow will start with Grue in the river.
