4 anglers made the journey south for the second visit of the year to this boat fishing venue.
Unfortunately although it looked like a good fishing day, the fish just didn't want to play ball.
So much so that, after flogging the water for hours, Steve Williams and Steve Argo decided to call it a day
and left early believing that it would be a fishless day. How wrong could they be and they were surprised to
learn that Sandy Buchan managed to catch the only fish of the day. A 2lb 12oz blue trout.

Sandy would like to remind Steve A that he will be looking for interest on the sweeper winnings!

Since it was reported that Fedderate Reservoir was probably not worth fishing, it was decided to reschedule the outing and, after
a gap of a number of years, pay a visit to Raemoir Fishery at Banchory. It was a pity that only 3 anglers were able
to attend but those that couldn't make it were the lucky ones. With the sun splitting the sky and hardly a ripple
on the water, only 3 fish gave themselves up. Yet again Sandy Buchan
was the top angler with 2 fish (weighing 4lb 8oz) with Davie Bruce, after losing 4, taking the only other one.
Still it may have just been down to the weather conditions on the day, and all agreed that it may be worth another go.
