Members Allan Miller and Bill Rankin had a good day at Loch Eck on Saturday, Allan with the nice Sea Trout and Bill with two wild brownies … well done lads !)
Loch Eck
The AGM was held on Tuesday 6th February at the Argyll Hotel and was attended better than last year with a turn-out of 30 members.
Members approved 2 proposals on the night – firstly membership subscriptions increase by £10 and reduction of catch limit from 3 to 2 fish on the Reservoir, Loch Tarsan and Loch Loskin. All competitions would remain as first 5 fish. The Committee was re-elected en-bloc for another year.
After the business of the meeting, presentation of prizes was held with Graeme Henry being Club Champion.
Thanks to all who attended.
Best
Davy, President
Bill Rankin got one up on the otters today, with this beautiful 5 1/2 lb Sea-trout, rod and fly caught (No trawling) … well done Bill 👏
Loch Tarsan Update.
The closure remains in place but will be assessed this week. The over 50’s Competition that was due to take place on Wednesday, will now be rescheduled as soon as water levels make it safe to do so. Keep an eye on the website for updates.
