Hi there!! For all those that don't know me.... I am the new Ghillie on Aboyne Castle beat on the river Dee. My life revolves around fly fishing, having come from the Grimersta estate on the Isle of Lewis I spend my salmon fishing season in Scotland whilst in the off season set off travelling, with an aim to fish as many of the top fly fishing destinations in the world! This blog will include all things fishy from far and wide! Please enjoy and share! Tight Lines!

First week....
With the warm temperatures and high waters through February we were all very optimistic for the first week! George started opening day with a cracking springer from the craigendinnie bank in Jockie Fyfe for his guests, although the remainder of the week seemed to be pretty slow. By Thursday a few fish seemed to be moving about with another fish being landed from Rail End, Waterside, and Deecastle all landing fish. Friday aboyne castle landed the first springer of the season! Caught by Alex Coutts, we knew he would winkle one out! The water has come up again on Sunday so I'm very hopefull for this coming week! There are still plenty of fish in the middle dee with reports of long tail seas liced fish being caught as high as Commonty! These fish are moving up quick!!
