Canny be many folk fishing at the right bit. The good crieff rods wont be saying much the now as per the norm, wont be wanting crowded oot theres plenty of good anglers on the crieff water and they all saying the same thing ......[ times are hard] . i dont think over crouding .... is a problem even if there were fish there ... im sure there is a few beats on the river saying the same thing

wish you would / but its been a few years since you fished the earn ..... its even harder than the tay feck 50 for 2 weeks holiday was without been pushed. Maybe if they kept the banks and pathways cleared and sorted the pools when trees etc fall in it would still be decent at crieff. 2006 was ma last season on it even with luss cut banks i dont think it would make much of a diifrence on the earn just now ..... and 2005 was the year was every blind man and there dog got a fish . 2011 is know ....... think you need to spend some time on your old river to appreciate how things are now ;D

No enough locals now ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Martin, its feckin poor this year above the A9. Dont know whats causing it but the fish are definitely not coming through. I dont care if you think you can show everyone how to catch fish. The stark reality is if they are not there you wont catch them. How is David getting on?? Same as everyone else I expect. I go through the pools methodically easily banking every one. Not a pull. I vary my approach , tips, fly sizes and patterns, not a pull. I try spinning because the fish are obviously deep what with the generation water. Not a pull. I sit for an hour and watch Coqhualzie dam. Nothing attempts it. So please dont patronise us and make us feel inferior. The fish just havent come through the middle and upper beats this season. They are just not there.

Hiding, of course maybe they are just not there in numbers Could it be that all rod caught and released fish stay close to where they were released and don't travel much farther. We released fish caught in our season extension the past 2 years. Some of these same fish were caught as kelts in the same pool the next spring. The following summer a couple were caught again in the same pool as returning fish ready to spawn again

If not, how were they identified, particularly a year later?

The river dee has carried out extensive radio tracking research during it's extension period, which provides interesting reading and also shows that released fish travel up and down the river after releasing, to some considerable degree, not to mention traveling to spawning grounds www.riverdee.org.uk/FileLibrary/Season%20extension%20monitoring%20Summary%20report_2011.pdf

Further reading shows that the majority of tagged spring and early summer fish remained too.
"For example, of the spring or early summer fish that were tagged in the Lower Dee, only 16% migrated into the Upper Dee and the majority (52%) remained in the Lower Dee at spawning time. In the Middle Dee, 54% of the spring or early summer fish that were tagged remained in the Middle Dee during the spawning period."
