???? SNFFL Event 2 – River Don (Lower) | Full Competition Coverage
Cold water. Technical fishing. And… a swim.
The second event of the 2026 Scottish National Fly Fishing League (SNFFL) takes us to the Lower River Don for the first river session of the season — where both the Premier Division and First Division battle for crucial early-season points.
With cold conditions and low, clear water, the River Don proved a serious test of rivercraft, patience, and precision. Fish were hard-earned, and every take mattered.
???? Key Moments from the Day
• Robert Maxwell dominates the Premier League session with 16 fish, moving into 1st overall in the league
• Bradie Heggie wins the First Division session, jumping up to 3rd overall
• Tight competition across both divisions with standings already beginning to take shape
And somewhere in the middle of it all…
???? I slipped, went in the river… and somehow still landed the fish ????
???? In this video
• Full coverage from the River Don
• Competition fly fishing in real conditions
• Tactics, drifts, and decision-making
• Key moments from both divisions
• One unexpected swim…
