At last! What a difference a rise of a few degrees in temperature makes. Fishers emerge from hibernation and fish leave the deeper holes and spread themselves over the water. The last few days have seen a remarkable rise in fish activity on the surface and catches are being recorded in the upper water column. The variety of end tackle never ceases to amaze and with the best catches for the week we have shown the preferred lure to illustrate this point.
Top catches for the week were;
J Mackenzie Girvan 20 fish orange fritz and buzzers
K Reid Gardenstown 18 fish yellow dancer and bloodworm
N Thomson Turriff 18 fish buzzers
C Field Fraserburgh 14 fish cormorant
S O'Brien Aberdeen 14 fish black lure
L Greenlees Aberdeen 13 fish black lure
E Wardy Banff 10 fish mini cat
I Watt Turriff 10 fish bloodworm
S Maclean Fraserburgh 9 fish various lures
M Michie Buckie 8 fish damsel nymph

Another 14 anglers recorded catches of between 6-8 fish. The fish off for the Troutmaster 2010 competition will be held on Saturday 2nd April and all invited entrants should confirm their participation to the fishery on 07980 999006.
