ADAA Secures New Water !

 The ADAA's New Water at Belmuir

You will have seen, from the Forum, that the ADAA have obtained a lease that permits members to fish the Belmuir beat (commencing immediately) for the remainder of the 2008 season and for the next four years. The ADAA do not have exclusive fishing rights for this year so there may be a small number of non-ADAA anglers fishing the beat.

ADAA members may fish any time or day, Monday to Saturday only, inclusive, within the fishing season. No booking required, but your ADAA permit must be available for inspection, if requested.
This beat has not been fished regularly for many years, however we believe that given decent water levels it should be quite productive for sea trout from late June, and for salmon, from mid August.
Many of you will be aware that our existing Methlick beat generally only fishes well during or immediately following spate conditions. We expect the Belmuir beat to hold fish at lower water levels than our Methlick beat.
The Ythan is however a spate river, and “lady luck” will always play her part.

A description of the water and full details of it's location, car parking, rules, links to maps etc can be found --here
