The weather during the past week has been far from conducive to good fishing with a fresh north/north easterly wind during the first half of the week followed by an even fresher westerly during the second half. Temperatures have also remained lower than average with the combination of these factors driving the fish deeper as can be seen from the fact that the most successful end tackle has been lures of various types and colours. The best recorded catches this week fell to; A Murray, Gardenstown, 29 fish, (green fritz), B Thomson, Aberdeen, 20 fish, (blob), A Cowie, Fraserburgh, 11 fish, (orange blob), J Adie, Inverurie, 10 fish, (Millenium Bug), L Davidson, Macduff, 6 fish, (various lures), B Furey, Peterhead, 6 fish, (olive cat's whisker), G Dyer, Turriff, 6 fish, (mini cat's whisker, hot head), A Hume, Aberdeen, 6 fish, (cat's whisker), C Robertson, Aberdeen, 5 fish, (black CDC), J Gough, Fraserburgh, 5 fish, (dry fly), C Robertson, Aberdeen, 5 fish, (deerhair, cat's whisker), B Lawrie, Aberdeen, 5 fish, (budgie).
