How things change with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and particularly Wednesday completely written off for weather conditions and then for Thursday, Friday and Saturday to produce the conditions that were so condusive to good fishing. Needless to say that the weather, whilst encouraging the fish, did nothing for the anglers until the weekend when a good turnout enjoyed some pleasant overhead conditions coupled to good sport.
The best recorded catches in numbers this week fell to:
A Murray, Gardenstown, 20 fish, (White Fritz), G Burton, Gardenstown, 16 fish, (Bloodworm), K Fraser, Greeness, 14 fish, (Black Cat), N Thomson, Turriff, 14 fish, (Cat's Whiskers and Cormorant), J Mackay, Macduff, 7 fish, (Green Blob).
Notable amongst the catches were the number of the larger specimens caught with K Fraser including a 14lb and 16lb fish amongst his tally with N Thomson landing a 12.5lb fish and G Burton including a 10lb plus specimen. Several other anglers recorded fish in the 7-9lb range.
