Information
about fishing trip to River Dee Week
41/2008.
We have 4 beats confirmed for week 41 – 2008 in the middle section of
River Dee in Scotland.
We have booked The Carlogie Beat, The Ballogie Beat, The Commonty Beat
and The Upper Blackhall Beat.
Carlogie;
Between Aboyne and Kincardine O’Neil. Extends down from Long Haugh down
right (south) bank of River Dee to Boat of Kincardine, fishing for 3 rods.
Sixteen named pools. Access for vehicles to top of beat, footpath along length
of beat.
3 huts, 1 hut has no facilities, 1 hut has heating, the main hut has gas
heating, a gas light and a gas cooker for heating water and snacks.
DESCRIPTION:
Carlogie is the upper of the three Ballogie Estate beats. Central is Ballogie
itself and the lower is Commonty.
Situated amidst forestry and farming land, this is a beautiful, versatile
beat on the right bank of the river. Predominantly secluded with 3 huts.
The main hut at the famous Calm Pool is a popular lunchtime rendezvous
for all beat rods with cooking facilities and wood-burning stove.
Carlogie is a renowned streamy, classic fly water, which fishes well at
all heights but particularly at low levels when it excels. The 16 named pools
give a fine variety of challenge or ease to satisfy all techniques and tastes.
Vehicular access is available to all pools, otherwise short walks via pleasant
river paths are available. Wading is most easy and seeking depth is not a
priority to reach lies. As well as salmon there is good sea-trout fishing from
early summer throughout the beat. Like the other Ballogie Estate beats, Carlogie
is a naturalist’s paradise with a wide diversity of flora and fauna. On the
opposite bank lie the Dess and Kincardine beats.
Ballogie;
LOCATION:
Middle Dee between Kincardine O’Neil
and Banchory. Right (south) bank of River Dee from Boat of Kincardine to Burn of
Cattie, fishing 2 rods above Potarch Bridge and 2 rods below. Twenty-five named
pools, 5 huts. Car access at top of beat, car park at Potarch Hotel,
footpath along whole length of beat. Vehicle access to middle to bottom beats
with car park. The 5 huts have no toilets or electricity and 4 have heating. The
Gannets hut has a portaloo.
DESCRIPTION:
Ballogie is the middle of the three Ballogie Estate beats. Above lies Carlogie
and below Commonty, all on the right bank of the river. Like Carlogie, Ballogie
is attractively located in forest and farmland. Ballogie caters for all tastes
from streamy pools at the Upper, Middle and Lower Gannets, Flats and Kelpie to
the deeper waters of the Sand, Slips, Boat and Potarch Bridge pools. The latter
is close to the Potarch Hut, a popular lunchtime meeting place with wood burning
stove capable of boiling water and heating snacks. Potarch Hotel is also an
extremely popular rendezvous for fishermen.
Wading can be easy, not necessary or with some caution, depending on river
heights, it is classic fly water with good movement and easy access to all
pools. There are two main huts attractively located and families will enjoy the
secluded, picturesque location with the diversity of flora and fauna.
Ballogie is divided into four beats fished in rotation which gives a rich
variety and varied challenge.
Commonty;
LOCATION:
The lowest of the three Ballogie beats, the Commonty ownership is shared with
Finzean Estate although bookings and arrangements are carried out as with
Carlogie and Ballogie.
DESCRIPTION:
Commonty is a secluded and extremely attractive beat. Access is gained by
a forest road which descends through coniferous woodland to the river. the pools
are of extremely varied character which enables fishing at all hights. The main
pool, the Garden, is an angler´s delight and versatile to most discerning
fisher. Suicide, the top pool, as the name suggests has difficult wading with
good reward while the Chair, Loop, Bend and Points are productive pools with
their own attractive characteristics. In all Commonty is a lovely beat of great
variety where pace and quiet is an added bonus. like all Ballogie beats, the
flora and fauna is one of the main bonuses, with roe deer and otters common
sights.
Fishing is from the right (south) bank of the river Dee 1.5 miles from Ballogie beat down to Upper Blackhall, opposite Sluie and Woodend beats.
There
are two main huts, with one secondary, and vehicular access is available to all
pools except Suicide, Loop, Bend and Point where short walks by the river are
necessary. One of the huts has a gas cooker for heating water and snacks and
toilet facilities.
LOCATION:
Upper Blackhall is situated 3 miles west of Banchory on
the south bank of the Dee.
DESCRIPTION:
The beat fishes 3 rods and has 15 named pools and it fishes equally well in low
and high water. There are 2 fishing huts with wood burning stoves and 2 shelters.
All but 3 of the pools are accessible by car from the
riverside track.
There is a full time ghillie, Raymond Sinclair, who has looked after the beat
for 12 years.
He is a fine fisherman, a patient and experienced
teacher and takes enormous trouble to look after his fishermen.
Apart from its productive water, the attraction of the
beat is its beauty and tranquillity. Beautiful trees, prolific wildlife and an
absence of public roads make for perfect peace.
