Hi folks :cool:

I have decided that Haddo Trout Fishery will not be open to the public as a commercial fishery in 2013 and no fishing permits will be available.

Should anybody be interested in running the lake as a fishery, please don't hesitate to contact me via PM or email and we can discuss the possibility :wink

Best wishes
Mike

Well well Mike, business going well then?  :z4
I am going to polish my brass neck and ask one thing. If you are going to open for the Orvis day, would you do the summer solstice all night fish? By invite only, of course!  :z14  Midnight barbecues, muddler sedge rises in the dark, dawn rises, talking shi1e all night and the all night smell of coffee brewing on the stove. Go on you know you want to :wink

No, sorry Marc, it would be a case of making me an offer of a reasonable amount for my gear like the huts, boats, trout stock, tools etc and then taking over the lease :wink
