The Loch Eck Competition went ahead between the 02/10/21 and 09/10/21, there was a very poor number of entrants considering the number of members within Dunoon and District Angling Club.
A total of six members took part with only two 12 inch sea trout being caught on Tuesday by member Keith McKenzie.
No one fished Saturday the 2nd and Monday the 4th , Wednesday the 6th or Friday the 8th.
Tom and Graeme Henry fished hard on the Thursday with no fish caught Allan Miller, Bill Rankin and Joe Docherty fished on Saturday the 9th with only small brown trout to show for their efforts.
All in all it had been a very bad year for the whole of Scotland partly due to the long hot summer and very low water. Ah well there is always next year !
Frandy : six members fished Frandy on Saturday 11th Sept.
There was 5 fish caught and 5 fish on and off the hook. A difficult day was had by all the anglers at Frandy, as a number of them came off the water stating this fact.
Overall winner of both outings – Lee Lindop
Heaviest fish over both outings – Ron Ganley
Graeme Henry … 4 fish and Winner of the Over 50’s Trophy at Loch Tarsan
Allan Miller … 3 fish

Again all enjoyed their day out.Weather stayed settled but warm with little wind, this made walking Tarsan a little hot under the collar
The Tarsan moth competition went ahead last night with only three people turning up, I think partly due to the England v Scotland match being on tv.
In first place was Lee Lindop with 10 fish for 9lbs 11ozs, in second place was Graeme Henry with 9 fish for 5lbs 10ozs is and in third place was Allan Miller with 4 fish for 4lbs 12ozs.
It was warm with a light breeze and a few fish moving with no midgies until the breeze died down then the midgies came out in force.
