A lovely morning for boats in at Tarsan, even though it was a tad cold, the loch was frozen over at boathouse bay and we had a bit of bother at first freeing the mooring lines from the ice. Nine members turned out to help with the job, a big thanks to them 🙂 … thought maybe a few new faces would have turned out to share the workload, but was not to be ! Hey-ho that’s life 
DDAC member Terry Markwick landed this nice full finned 4lb’er this week, nice fish to start the season … well done Terry !
The “Ressie” had its first stocking of the 2016 season today, perfect condition hard fighting Rainbow trout were put in from the 2lb mark upwards, they will provide good sport for those anglers brave enough to venture up and wet a line, good luck guys because the forecasts not to good, snow showers are predicted tomorrow, and a biting wind for the rest of the week.
A friend of mine took this image, looking down at nearly the whole length of Loch Eck, taken from the hill up behind the Coylett Inn. Wont be that long till the boats are in the water here, roll on the Summer (if we get one that is)
Members are reminded that from now on, when booking a boat for either Loch Tarsan or Loch Eck, you must specify which type of boat you require, either long shaft or short shaft ! This saves disappointment when arriving at the water and your boat is being used by others.
Thanks for your help in this matter.
Help is required for the boats in on 6th March at 10am for Loch Tarsan and also 13th March at 10am for Loch Loskin it would be nice to see some new faces there apart from the usual lads who turn out religiously every time ! The job wont take long, and remember many hands make light work.
I thought this was worth a mention on the website seeing DDAC was involved with it, please click on the link below to read all about it.
A new and updated version of the DDAC Manual as well as Competition Rules, Permit Charges, Catch Limits and Guidance Notes in PDF format are available for viewing here, and also on the “PDF Forms” and “Permits and Membership” tabs on this website
