Hi folks
With ice one day and strong winds the next, the weather certainly played a major role in the sport at Haddo this week. Floating lines with long leaders turned out to be a good choice, with bloodworm, blobs and mini cats proving to be the most productive flies.
Chris McAllister tempted 6 fish up to approx 3½ lb, Ian Knox 5 up to 3 lb, Neil Garden 9 up to 8½ lb, John Ralph 6 up to 4 lb, Kevin Neri 6 up to 12 lb, Henry Lockhart 7 up to 8 lb and Scott Sim 8 fish up to 6 lb.
Alan Birnie also netted a nice 7 lb rainbow and Andrew McGinn was pleased with just 2 fish for his session, the first was approx 10 lb and the second one was a cracking 12 pounder
Best wishes
Mike Barrio
