Closing Day Salmon From The Don

I had a few hours out on the River Don today as it was the final day of the fishing season. I wasn’t expecting much action as the fish seemed to have switched to spawning mode this week but I did manage to land a wee grilse from the Aberdeen & District Angling Association beat at Kemnay. It was a nice way to round off my season. Roll on next year!

No.31 My final salmon of the 2019 fishing season.

Some Salmon From Ballogie

I was fortunate enough to land a few Salmon from the Ballogie beat of the River Dee last week during my annual leave from work. Its always good to be in the right place at the right time when the fish are on the take. This seemed to be in the morning before the sun got too bright as catches tailed off during the afternoon before the fish came back on the take in the evening.
