Premier River Dee Fishing Week

A truly magnificent opportunity awaits 2 fishermen who wish to come and
experience the cream of River Dee fishing, and in the process help with
the conservation and restoration work of the River Dee Trust, and
encouraging newcomers to angling through AFYD, the Angling For Youth
Development charity. We have secured a week's prime fishing and
accommodation to go to auction to secure funds for the River Dee Trust &
AFYD. The auction will run until closing date of 31st August with the
highest bids visible on the FishPal website auction page. Bids can be
submitted for this fabulous week online at the FishPal Auction page
http://www.fishpal.com/FishingServices/Auctions/?dom=Pal

alternatively written bids can be submitted to River Dee Trust, Mill of
Dinnet, Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, AB34 5LA

Fishing at Lower Crathes



The Premier River Dee Fishing Week comes as a complete lot comprising
the following:

12th/13th September 2 days fishing for two rods at Lower Crathes and
Upper Durris

14th/15th September 2 days fishing for two rods at Dinnet

16th/17th September 2 days fishing for two rods at Crathie

13TH/14TH September 2 nights' accommodation at the Loch Kinord Hotel,
Dinnet including breakfast

15th/16th September 2 nights' accommodation at the Darroch Learg Hotel,
Ballater including breakfast

Fishing at Dinnet



These beats provide a wonderful opportunity for anglers to experience
truly world class fishing potential with beats that are arguably the
very best that the River Dee has on offer. Last year for instance Lower
Crathes rods landed 114 salmon in September, Dinnet 35 and Crathie 92
which gives an indication of how prolific these beats can be. The River
Dee Trust is indebted to Arni Baldursson, Edward Humphrey and Simon
Blackett for generously donating these days to the River Dee Trust. The
River Dee Trust would also like to thank Phillip J Fleming & the Tor Na
Coille Hotel, Andrew and Jenny Cox & The Loch Kinord Hotel and Nigel and
Fiona Franks & The Darroch Learg Hotel for providing bed & breakfast to
the visiting anglers during their weeks stay on Deeside.

Fishing at Crathie



The lucky winner of the Premier River Dee Fishing Week auction lot will
be notified at the close of auction and information about the week's
fishing week will be supplied. As this fishing is not generally
available it would attract a premium and a guide price for this would be
in the region of £4,000. Information about each of these beats can be
found on the fishery descriptions page on www.fishdee.co.uk
<http://www.fishdee.co.uk/> . Good luck to all bidders and thanks
for your anticipated support.
