Big River!!

With heavy rain in the hills the Dee has risen fiercely! Certainly the highest I have ever seen it! Unusual mild weather for February, let's see how the upper Dee performs this March!!

Aboyne Castle Beats...

I am proud to say that I am the new Ghillie on Aboyne Castle Beats on the Scottish Dee!
I will be updating the blog with hopefully lots of catches, river heights, whats catching and generally all things fishy from the beat!
Alec (aka the oracle) has been kind enough to walk the banks and let me know his secret spots! Its stunning water and i'm really looking forward to getting well acquainted with it this season!
After a mild winter there are plenty of fish being caught in the middle Dee so will soon be with us! Lets hope for a cracking season!

In the meantime, here's some pre-season pics.
