Hi folks

I believe that yesterday was possibly George's last day at Waulkmill Fishery in New Deer, as he was planning to close at the end of October. Perhaps Peter or Jim can confirm? or any other forum members?

Waulkmill is a great little fishery and one of the first in the North East, possibly The First?

I fished there a good few times before my days at Haddo and always thoroughly enjoyed my visits ...... Thanks George

Best wishes
Mike

I will also miss it , that was George's position last time I spoke, closing at the end of October.

Met a couple of guys from the Frserburgh Angling club at  Fedderate Saturday before last , thet were holding an EGM on the Sunday to decide if they would lease Waulkmill as a club water. If it did go through it would be club members only and would not be open to the public.

George is going to be running it until the end of November and then the Fraserburgh Angling club will take over running the fishery. It will be run on a similar basis to the present, i.e. it will still be open to the general public. The only real difference will be that tickets will have to be purchased prior to starting to fish. The club are at present organising outlets where these will be available and I will let you know once this is finalised.

Thanks for the update, good to hear its still going to be open to the public

Any further updates? Has anyone agreed to sell tickets?
Peter

[Jim Eddie]

I spoke to George yesterday Peter, he thought that they may be available from a shop in Maud.

Probably best if Graham Ritchie could confirm.

The tickets will be available from two outlets, Costcutters in New Pitsligo, who also sell the permits for the Fedderate Dam and from Keystores in Maud. It will cost £10 for a catch and release ticket and £15 for a two fish limit ticket. The tickets will have to be purchased before you start to fish, they will not be available onsite and will be valid from 8am until dusk.
Sorry for the delay in replying, I have had broadband problems.

What exactly is it that George plans to do in his retirement

[Jim Eddie]

Not sure Broontroot , he must be getting on a bit now. I did hear someone say he was going to travel.
