In the absence of any other guesses, it was Beat 3, upstream of Nibbet Stone by a wee bit. Shot taken in April 2003. Those of you with good memories will recall that we had hot weather and no rain for the 6 weeks prior to this-hence all the exposed stones. I had just fished a wonderful March Brown hatch which brought all the big fellas up and lasted an hour. It was seeing all these big Trout that cemented our thoughts into to basing our trips around Monymusk the next year (I was by myself that day) and 2004 was the start of our annual pilgrimages though we had visited Strathdon in 2002

Mike,

That be where I caught a really nice trout during a local comp but we later found out that the closing time had been changed and we were disquallified.

Didn't go down well.

Damn I know that pool at Littlewood but didn't recognise it. Saw 2 Otter cubs playing in the plunge pool for 10 minutes once there.

Re: your pic Hamish...looks a bit like Monymusk near the top of Beats 6 and 7?

Gut answer is Castle Forbes, although reminds me of a pool at Fetternear.
