It can be quite confusing telling the difference between a sea trout and a salmon, click on the PDF files below to learn how.
Yet another excellent result from Loch Eck by Bill Rankin who was fishing on Friday and landed this magnificent sea trout which weighed in at 5lb, which was returned to fight another day.
Bill Rankin and Allan Miller had a quality day on Loch Eck yesterday, Bill took five Sea-trout the biggest pictured here at 3.5lbs, and Allan landed a cracking sea trout at 5lb, top fish Allan’s bottom two Bill’s … All fish safely returned to the loch ! … Well done guys.
The Loch Eck Competition starts this Saturday 7th and finishes Saturday 14th. Remember all salmon must be measured and/or photographed if possible and quickly returned to the water. No Sunday fishing ! Book your boat and day at Campbell’s paint shop. Tight Lines.
The final results of the Reservoir Pittman Competition from 17th September until 24th September 2017.
18 members entered the Competition, 8 members attended the Weigh-In.
The start of the week was dry and warm but from Wednesday until Sunday it was heavy rain with no members weighing in on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday.
The heaviest fish – Keith Mackenzie 3 lbs 9 oz caught Tuesday 19th September.
Second heaviest fish Allan Miller 3 lbs 7oz caught Friday 22nd September
Heaviest basket – Keith Mackenzie five fish for a total weight of 11 lbs 4 oz caught Tuesday 19th September.
John Pickett was second with five fish for a total weight of 11 lbs 1oz.
A beautiful day at Menteith but the fish were very picky with the flies. The algae was very bad in some areas like the roadside bays, it was like pulling your line through mud and the ban on killing fish was still in force. Lee Lindop had the best three fish and Davy Landsburgh tied with BIll Rankin for largest. Harry Lindop caught the most (9) but most of us struggled to get any at all. The total catch for the 13 members was 22.
Just goes to show there are still plenty fish in Loch Tarsan even after the competitions have finished, Bill Rankin had excellent day last weekend and caught 13 fish all well above the 9″ two of which are shown here, 1lb and a 1-3/4lb fish, and all were returned to the water unharmed. Allan Miller also had 5 good fish to his name and returned safely. So plenty fish up there and still another full month of the brown trout season to go … get up there !
The final Tarsan competition was held on Saturday 5th August 2017. Only five competitors came to the weigh in. The top rod was Bill Rankin, with six fish at 2lbs 15ozs. All five competitors weighed in fish.
After five days of intense fishing the Tarsan Competition for 2017 has drawn to a close.
Nine members fished the competition
Total fish caught was 102 @ 68lbs 7oz and the heaviest fish was 1lb 5oz and the average weight was 10.7oz
1st place was Lee Lindop with 31 @ 20lbs 13oz
2nd place was Keith Mackenzie with 21 @ 13lbs 1oz
3rd place was Bill Rankin with 19 @ 10lbs 14oz
So the winner of the P.J. Mackenzie Cup for 2017 is Lee Lindop, he also wins the Tarsan Cup for the heaviest fish at 1lb 5oz …. well done Lee !
So next season Lee Lindop, Bill Rankin and Keith Mackenzie go through to represent the club in the Scottish Nationals Competition, we wish them well !
Member Bill Rankin caught three sea-trout from one of our rivers, one at 3lb’s and two at 1lb, a one pound fish was returned…. Well done Bill ! Just goes to show there are quality fish about, maybe this will get the members off the sofa and up the rivers. 😉
