Graeme Henry took five fish on the final day of the Tarsan Competition, all fish took a Claret Bumble size 10 .. well done Graeme 👏

      Heat 3 of the Club Championship (Mackenzie Cup) took place on Saturday 24th June at Loch Tarsan . With the recent drought conditions the Loch was very low. The banks were difficult to access with mud and exposed rocks. Only three anglers turned out on a day of mixed conditions and the going was tough.

Two anglers returned fish with the result as follows;

   1. Keith Mackenzie – 3 fish for 1lbs 11.7 oz

   2. Graeme Henry – 1 fish for 5.5 oz

    Well done chaps!

Next up at Tarsan is the Over 50’s on Wednesday the 5th of July from 10 till 4pm. Hopefully water levels will have improved.

 Tarsan Moth Competition Result.

    After the intense heat of recent weeks, only three members were tempted to participate in the Moth Competition, which took place on 16th June.

Conditions were reasonable at the off, with a cooling breeze and some cloud cover. In spite of this fishing was slow particularly at the start. With the midgies threatening to do their worst every time the breeze eased, there was a distinct lack of surface activity and fish were hard to come by. As the sun went down some fish started moving, but it was not until the last hour that a rise really began allowing a few fish to be picked off. As time ran out we were left to ponder whether the Moth Competition should continue beyond 11pm?

The midgies were becoming intolerable however and the weigh in and post fishing chat was kept to a minimum. All three competitors weighed in fish with the result as follows;

1. Duncan F MacGillivray.  4 fish for 3lbs.

2. Keith Mackenzie. 2 fish for 1.5lbs.

3. Graeme Henry. 1 fish for 1lb.

Well done to all the anglers for taking part.

The 3rd Heat of the MacKenzie Cup takes place this coming Saturday, 24th June from 12 to 6pm. Hope to see you there!
