River Deveron, Scotland
The River Deveron District Salmon Fishery Board (RDevDSFB) and The Deveron, Bogie and Isla Rivers Charitable Trust (DBIT) are delighted to announce the opening of the Deveron salmon season in association with The Deveron Single Malt Whisky (Bacardi).
The Morison Trophy will be presented at the opening ceremony on the 11th of February (10am) at Turriff Angling Association lodge and the opening ceremony will follow thereafter.
Special guests, Robson Green and partner Zoila will present the Morison Trophy and officially open the salmon season with a dram of Deveron whisky from Macduff. Robson has fronted shows such as Extreme Fishing and Extreme Fishing Challenge. He presented many series of Tales from Northumberland a place he is still very proud to call home. Robson currently plays Detective Inspector Geordie Keating on ITV’s Grantchester. Both Robson and Zoila are enthusiastic anglers and are extremely passionate about the conservation of Atlantic Salmon.
Mr Gavin Hepburn, winner of the Morison Trophy for 2022 will make the first cast of the season. Mr Hepburn secured the trophy by landing a 22lbs salmon from Lower Netherdale. Thanks goes to Henderson’s Country Sports (Turriff) for sponsoring the Greys salmon rod that will be presented to Gavin for carefully releasing the winning salmon.
Richie Miller, River Director said “We are very much looking forward to the season ahead. The prolonged low water conditions during 2022 made it a tough season for fish and anglers and we hope for more favourable conditions this coming season. We are delighted to have Robson and Zoila join us to open the salmon season and I wish all our angler’s tight lines for the season ahead”.
