The beginning of the past week has seen a continuance of the cold and breezy conditions although towards this weekend there has been an improvement in temperatures. However, the marked difference between day and night temperature has still kept the water cold and together with the breezy conditions have made the fish feeding habits unpredictable and changeable.
Now that June is approaching, hopefully we will see temperatures and conditions improve and make the fish more amenable to a dry fly presentation. Lures and buzzers wee still the predominant catching method this week. The best recorded catches fell to; A Murray, Gardenstown (several visits), 41 fish (white fritz, pink nomad), R Ewen, Macduff, 22 fish, (buzzers, diawl bach), P Cowie, Fraserburgh, 15 fish, (black buzzer), J Mann, Turriff, 11 fish, (buzzers), K Fraser, Greeness, 11 fish, (black butcher), A Cowie, Fraserburgh, 10 fish, (cat's whisker), N Thomson, Turriff, 7 fish, (buzzers), S Griffiths, Fordyce, 7 fish, (black fritz).
