With the days getting longer and the weather (hopefully) improving, thoughts turn to the fast approaching new salmon fishing season.
The season commences on the 11th February, however due to current legislation we need to wait another day before we can wet a line.
The official opening ceremony on the Association water, is at 1pm at the Stoney Pool on Monday 12th February. No doubt a few hardy anglers will be out chasing the elusive springers a few hours earlier!
Hopes are high that the river can produce another fresh salmon on opening day, club member, Barry Stables was the first angler for many a year to catch a fish on the river on opening day when he landed a wonderful 21 lb fish last year - fingers crossed it will be on the Association water this year!
The River Findhorn remains a Category 1 river for the coming season and there have been no major changes to the rules this year.
Tight lines!!
