It's raining!!

I'm glad to see the end of march! It has been a very hard month on the Dee and I must congratulate all the anglers on the Ballogie beats for perservering in such horrific conditions, the low water combined with record breaking daytime temperatures made the chances of catching fish very difficult, however we still managed to beat the 5 year average for march on all 3 beats which is a fantasic achievement given the conditions.


As I am writing this it is raining outside and the weather forcast is giving rain for all day tomorrow, then with snow on the hills forcast for monday night/tuesday morning we may have the lift in water that we've been needing now for weeks, the pools have lots of fresh fish lying in them but they are hard to catch due to the low water, if it does rise I can see catches improving dramatically. As we enter the prime spring months we hopefully will see bigger runs of fresh fish entering the river daily and given rain we will continue to have good sport for the rest of the spring.

Also sorry for not posting as often as I would like, but i'm not at work at the moment due to ongoing complications from Lymes disease. I've been signed of for the next 2 weeks but if I feel better at all i'll be back on the banks as soon as I can!!
