Hi folks  

I am holding a Haddo Bamboo Gathering on Saturday August the 25th, starting at the usual 9.30 in the morning and finishing at about 4pm.

As per the last gathering, this is a very simple event, bamboo or split cane fly rods only on the day and you can fish from the boats or the float tubes ....... whichever you prefer ...... a chance for bamboo enthusiasts to get together and have a good blether  

If you fancy coming along ......... please reply here or get in touch via the fishery mobile 07810 868897  





Best wishes

Sticks is sticks.

Mark ,i have an older split cane you can borrow, its a 6 weight and restored.
quite different to fish with, but it works.
I'll be there first thing, so if i'm gone when you turn up i'll leave it with mr Mike.

Mike,

Thanks for organising another good day for fishing with grass.  Obviously not too many people think about bamboo and rainbow together in Aberdeenshire but I had a great time and I think we have a convert in Mark!

[Mike Barrio]

Hi Mike
Great to see you enjoying yourselves 



I've posted some more photos in this week's fishing report http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=659.0
