Graeme Henry took five fish on the final day of the Tarsan Competition, all fish took a Claret Bumble size 10 .. well done Graeme 👏
This is the situation today, 21st July, looking from the Col Dam end with all boats high and dry, the geese seem to be enjoying it though. Also at Tarsan Dam end on-going works have been spotted 👀

Club member, Duncan MacGillivray had a lovely sea trout from the River Ruel on Saturday. The fish was returned safely and weighed an estimated 7.5 lbs. The fish took a size 8 Donegal Blue.
They don’t make them like this anymore!

Temporary Closure of Loch Tarsan for fishing. 27.06.23
Due to very low water levels at Loch Tarsan, the exposure of potentially dangerous mud, silt and protruding rocks, the Executive Committee have taken the decision to close fishing on the Loch for now. The situation will be reviewed going forward and members should consult the website for updates on the situation.

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.
