Week Commencing 11th March 2015.

Some of you might notice that the date above is a Wednesday rather than the usual Monday, Monday and Tuesday of last week were a washout. Wednesday was not much better but some of those who made the effort were rewarded with some fish. The river carried a little colour all week. The forecast for the coming week is temperatures in the mid single figures with a little bit of sunshine on Monday then clouding over for the rest of the week with some rain towards the weekend. The tides are building all week. I expect the river will slowly drop all week with a little fluctuation with the cold nights holding back some run off.

Catches: Mrs Anne Cameron got her Spey Season underway on the 11^th March this year rather than her last year’s effort on the 11^th February. David Tisdale caught the best fish of Delfur’s season with this 14lber from Broom.

Upstream at Rothes the Gordon Group continued to catch a few fish, Bill Goodlad had one from Creekie on Wednesday, Mike Glass hooked this on in Creekie and landed it Bluestone and Graham Ritchie had a small fish from Burnmouth on Saturday.

I understand Arndilly had another two. Craigellachie had a fish from the Boat Pool on Friday and I am grateful to Bryan Herbert for his photograph.

I believe that Aberlour have had a least another couple of fish and Kinermony also had another. I am pleased to say, as predicted, the Grantown’s season got underway when local angler Bobby Hall had a 7lb fish from the Long Pool.
