The result for the “Jimmy Docherty Rover Challenge Trophy” is shared this year between Bill Rankin and Paul McLean, well done guys ! The trophy was donated by Joe Docherty in memory of his father Jimmy, a member of this club in the early years.
Bill Rankin and Alister McGilvery were out on Loch Eck on 8th Oct. Bill caught three nice fish, the biggest was 2.5 lbs and the others were half pounders, all returned safely. All caught on the fly … Well done !
Bill’s sea trout
Worthy winner of the competition was Bill Rankin with his 3lb Sea-Trout … well done Bill ! Twelve members fished during the week, a good turn-out for the time of year, The weather was terrific, blue sky, gentle light breezes, but unfortunately not the ideal conditions for Loch Eck. Hopefully next year will bring a bigger response and more favorable weather for trophy.
Winner of the largest fish at the Reservoir was John Pickett Sr with 1lb 15oz, in second place Jake Chambers with 1lb 12oz
A wee reminder that the fly tying classes start on the 1st October at 19.30 in the Edward Street Community Center. Get some tuition from the experts, tools and materials can be provided if necessary. Come along and join in the fun.
