Tarsan Moth Competition 2016
Disappointing turnout – only 5 competitors appeared at the weigh-in.
A hard evening with the trout being very hard to tempt initially,
but once the sun had gone down, then fishing improved –
unfortunately so did the midges!

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’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
