14 members had a very productive day at Menteith. All but two caught fish with nothing under 2 lbs

Lee, the definitive fish charmer, caught 17 fish in total on the day, catch and return, How does he do it ??
All the fish caught were of excellent quality
As in the past the odd Pike was hooked and duly returned for the winter pike fishing season. Possibly we should arrange a winter Outing for Pike. Anybody interested please contact David Lilley.
The Oaktree Inn provided an attractive choice of dishes on the Menu and we could patronise them again if members were happy to repeat it

Some of the members who fished on Day 1 of the Tarsan Competition, a glorious day but quite breezy at times, and some good catches were made … results to follow soon !
This Saturday (8th April) is the first day of the Tarsan Competition. Bank fishing only, it starts at 12 noon, with the weigh-in at the boathouse at 6pm. Forecast seems very nice, all members are welcome. Please come along and give the usual attenders something to think about, as the number of competitors has been dwindling in recent years.

This years winner of the Jimmy Docherty Rover Challenge Trophy is Bill Rankin .. well done Bill !
It would be nice to see more members enter this competition next year, the rivers and lochs are waiting to be explored, and are not fished as often as they should be. Make a point of visiting different waters in the new season, as wild fishing is what it’s all about !
