The Ballogie Beats: Siberian Spring!

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013/04/siberian-spring.html

Monday, 1 April 2013. A fine springer from Ballogie. That's another month gone by and still not much has changed in the conditions on the Ballogie beats, low water cold river temperatures have made sport difficult to say the least! Ready to be released! Mattias with a Rawner caught from Carlogie. Altough the catches for February and March look bad, they are still better than the catches of 2010, we have a short memory and only look at the present season to judge how the fishing has been. The Ballogie Bea...

The Ballogie Beats: No Change!!

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013/04/no-change.html

Monday, 8 April 2013. Not a fish from the Ballogie beats but a supberb fish caught by Roald Meyer at Lower Crathes on a Franc N Snaelda tube tied by me! After another week of lean pickings on the Ballogie beats there seems no sign of the weather changing for the coming week, in fact we had snow this morning and a bitterly cold easterly wind all day, the weather forcasters predict more heavy snow for Wednesday and Thursday this week so we will continue with the same conditions till next week.

The Ballogie Beats: June 2012

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Friday, 29 June 2012. Nice Grilse covered in sea-lice, caught on a Willie Gunn Snaelda. Ready for landing at Alans pool. With rain appearing in the weather forcast most days this week, hopefully we can have a pretty level river height rather than a up and down river, this will settle the fish in the pools and make it easier for the anglers. Please support the Deeside Beer Festival. Sunday, 24 June 2012. 15lber from the Top Gannets. Robin Kemp with his largest fish to date. Wednesday, 20 June 2012. A good...

The Ballogie Beats: February 2013

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, 24 February 2013. A completely frozen Franc N Snaelda. It's not the best of weeks with only 3 fish caught on the Ballogie beats, just 1 off each beat! The river temperature is the biggest problem, at only 34c the fish are not moving up through the river at any speed and as the water keeps dropping the fish are more likely to stay in the lower beats when they come in from the sea. Another good fish from the Bridge pool! Thursday, 21 February 2013. An elusive Dee Springer! A long line over the Ghil...

The Ballogie Beats: May 2012

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 30 May 2012. Big run of fish! Well catches have improved this week with a good run of new fish which have stirred up some of the resident fish as well. Ballogie and Carlogie are doing well but Commonty doesn't seem to be holding fish, which is strange as they have resident fish in most of the pools. One of 4 fish caught by Andrew Williamson at Carlogie yesterday. Sunday, 27 May 2012. 100th fish from Carlogie. Back to carry on it's journey. With only 4 days left of the spring we are still chasi...

The Ballogie Beats: Flood!!!

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013/04/flood.html

Sunday, 14 April 2013. This was the scene today at Ballogie just below my garden, the river had risen over 7ft since this morning! As you can imagine the river is like liquid chocolate mixed with lots of rubbish and trees! Hopefully this will clear by tomorrow and we will be able to fish, the height wont be a problem if we can drop back to around 6ft on the gauge, all 3 beats will fish at this height and Ballogie has caught fish from the Bullworks pool at 7ft on the gauge in recent floods.

The Ballogie Beats: Picking away - Again!!!

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013/03/picking-away-again.html

Sunday, 10 March 2013. Picking away - Again! The River Dee opening ceremony, celebrating 150 years of the River Dee board. This was painted by local artist Howard Butterworth and it's limited to 100 signed copies. To own a piece of river Dee history go to www.thebutterworthgallery.com. Mattias with a nice springer from the Top Gannets. Another hard week with only 9 fish from the Ballogie beats, which when you see what was caught on the river wasn't too bad! Ernie Hemmings into a fish at upper Inchbare.

The Ballogie Beats: January 2013

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, 31 January 2013. Well it's that time of year again! The start of the 2013 season is about to begin, condition couldn't be better! The river is sitting at 3ft on the Bridge pool gauge, the water is running clear and the wind has dropped. The Potarch bridge a week ago. And this how it looks today. Perfect! We have a lot of snow in the hills which will be good for the river levels if we can hold on to it until late spring. The Marquee ready for the big day. A bit of fun. Monday, 28 January 2013.

The Ballogie Beats: The Aftermath!

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-aftermath.html

Monday, 22 April 2013. Some images of the flood from last week, the river hit 10ft twice! Below are some images of the damage to the banks, when the river drops back we will see more damage! The path to Alans pool completely washed away! Looking down to the island at Long Haugh, 10ft of the bank has gone here! On a more positive note, all this high water has brought up new fish to the Ballogie beats! So far today we have had 5 fish! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Ballogie Beats: April 2013

http://theballogiebeats.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, 28 April 2013. At last the fish have arrived! Kevin Fraser with a fish from Fraser's pool at Carlogie, nice to get a fish in a pool named after you! Jerk Sonnichsen and his team from Denmark were at Ballogie this week, they had a total of 17 salmon and 2 seatrout. Jerk celebrated some firsts this week which included his capture of his 100th Dee springer! He also caught his biggest Dee fish at 22lb and caught fish in 2 pools he had never had fish from before.
