    On the last Monday of the 2023 season we still had a very high water (8' 5" & falling) from the previous weekend's deluge and flooding was experienced up and down Deeside but by Tuesday conditions were looking good as were the days that followed as the height gradually fell to 2ft by Saturday.  Water temperatures were between 45f to 52f. Air temperatures were more like late spring on Monday and got cooler as the week went on with an increasing westerly wind also. We had the return of a few familiar faces for the last few days of the season but it was looking like a big ask to manage the 100th fish. We were sitting on 99 after Mark Blair landed a 5lb er and Charles Drummond landed an 8lb er by mid afternoon on the last day however Scott Mackenzie managed our 100th fish in the Malt Steep on the last run down. A fantastic effort by all the fishers this season and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2024.

    Cheers Brian
