I'm bringing the barbie and some grub, so I suggest we set a time for lunch and i'll do a few chicken legs and burgers 

 

Jim

Great stuff Jim

Anything I can do to help?

I think we should maybe just do the casting demo at Haddo ..... it would keep things simple

Best wishes
Mike

[Ben Dixon]

Cool, food too.

Mike, can you get Magnus to come along?

Will do a demo anywhere really, not fussy.  If there is anything that anyone would like to see in particular let me know and I'll cover it.

Cheers

Ben

Yes it would be good if you could organise the weather 

How about we stop for lunch and a blether at 13:00 ?

If I could comandeer one of the picnic benches for the grub that would be good.

[Noel Kelly]

Great Day and weren't  the sun gods kind. Fish were bemused at my efforts but nothing new there. Think most faired better than me with Colin in particular showing us all how it was done. Didn't tell us mind except to vaguely mutter buzzers
Thanks Iain for rowing me around the Loch, in I'm sure a similar manner that the Victorian ladies once were at Haddo.
Jim for the excellent food.
Mike for being the excellent host as always.
Ben for the constant entertainment and keeping the midges away and everyone else that turned out and made it a great day out. 

Jim I'm already thinking about the next one. You have a pm...     

[ColinC]

I am gutted that I missed the day out, I had to take my mum home bk to Fife as my gf has the cold. Just bought a barrio line aswell, never mind plenty of time to try it out. Hope you all had a good time.

[Sandy Nelson]

Brilliant day out
 
Great to see everyone again and catch up as well meeting a few new faces, always a pleasure.

Big thanks to Jim for the BBQ, great stuff especially as the weather held nicely too.
The fish kept their heads down, but those that did stick a nose a nose out the water managed to find a couple of flees

[Mike Barrio]

[Iain Goolager]

twas indeed a nice way to spend a Sunday.

You excelled yourself with the BBQ Jim

Thanks Mike, for hosting and nice to see faces old and new

Glorious day for such an event  

Iain

[Barry Robertson]

Sounds like a great day out folks, looking forward to seeing the photos 

[Mike Barrio]

[PDScott]

Can I just repeat what everyone else has said about a superb day out - a personal thanks to Colin for showing me how it should be done! I knew the writing was on the wall when he caught his first fish pulling line off the reel in preparation to cast - in the words of Rod Stewart - " Some guys have all the luck"!

I hope that next Sunday's Float Tube day is as successful.

All the best
Peter

[Colin Davidson]

Great idea, great venue, great day!

Really enjoyed my day out, didnt love the drive home, but an hours kip in a lay by helped! Managed a few fish, a few burgers ( Cheers Jim, excellent! ) and managed to mutter a few oaths after the dries went on for a short time. i swear i could see them shaken their heads in bemusement at my efforts, i mean the fish not just the guys watching.

heard a rumour about size 22 klinkhammers from Ben but i never actually saw one so i still dont think they exist!

All in all a brilliant days fishing, thanks to Peter for keeping me company in the boat, i promise next time, if you've already put your reel in your bag i'll stop too!

What to do for the next one, perhaps you lot could all come down to me... nah then i couldnt fish Haddo that day.

Cheers for hosting mike.

Cheers

Colin.

[Ben Dixon]
