With the year's end approaching who would believe the temperatures during the past week when even the overnight temperature was approaching or achieving double figures. The effect on the fish was quite dramatic with surface or immediately sub surface activity at a level normally only seen during July/August. This point was emphasised by P Barron from Oldmeldrum who landed seven fish using dry flies and red buzzers. Other anglers also achieved good catches with the best results coming from; T Graham, Inverurie, 16 fish, (green buzzers), J Adie, Inverurie, 11 fish, (green buzzers), M Stewart, Methlick, 12 fish, (mini lures), N Thomson, Turriff, 9 fish, (buzzers), P Barron, Oldmeldrum, 7 fish, (dry fly/red buzzer), D Low, Aberdeen, 7 fish, (nymphs), F McAlley, Dyce, 6 fish, (lures/buzzers).
