That was a week that was! Torrential rain all day Wednesday followed by rising levels and coloured water on Thursday/Friday. However, the week had started well and has returned to normal for the weekend. As I write our friends from the Fraserburgh Angling Club are bending their rods and filling the bank with polythene bags. A fuller report next week as their session ends later.
Despite the mid week deluge, good catches were recorded including:
James West Fraserburgh 15 fish
I Watt Turriff 11 fish
J O'Neill Mintlaw 11 fish
G Sutherland Fraserburgh 9 fish
C Fields Fraserburgh 6 fish
The best Junior by far was S Cresswell, Macduff with 5 fish to 5.5lbs.
Also recorded was:
M Sutherland Fraserburgh 12lb
R Mackenzie Burghead 9.5lb
K Murray Buckie 7lb
Fish were being taken on lures, Nymphs, Buzzers, Dry and no two anglers were catching on the same tackle - a real mixed bag.
We can now detect the evenings beginning to draw in but hope to enjoy some good evening sessions during August/September.
Delgatie Castle is now a Troutmaster water and beginners are always welcome as well as visiting anglers. Tackle available for hire.
