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.
Loch Tarsan produced this beautiful plump brownie last Saturday, caught by club member Allan Miller with a CDC pattern, its weight was around 2lb. Well done Allan.
Windy and cold up Loch Tarsan today (14th) if conditions prevail it will prove a difficult first day of the 2017 season tomorrow for the keen anglers who venture out.
