Fishing Reports
Scott Rutherford from Orvis Banchory, fishing Aboyne Castle Beat on the River Dee.
The Dee. Ross Macdonald said "Last week we had twenty in the book, bringing us to one hundred for the season so far. Conditions were reasonable, with a lift in water midweek, so I think we could have expected a few more landed" - read more.
The Dee are exhibiting at this years London Fly Fishing Fair. Ross Macdonald and the team will be there to chat all things River Dee during the weekend of Friday 22nd & Saturday 23rd March.
The Ness. The season is underway and so far it has been a quiet start. Loch Ness have faired better with a few salmon, notably a 25lbr, caught last week. The Ness beats generally don't tend to catch salmon until around mid March - read more.
The Tay. The spring run on the Tay system should really start to build over the next few weeks as more fresh fish enter the river. March usually sees the start of more consistent catches on the river and of course being the River Tay; there is always the chance of landing that fish of a lifetime - read more.
