Massan Diary June
If any of our members are unfamiliar with the pool locations on the Massan, here are a few pictures of the laybys that I have strimmed and marked.
Approach the river more or less at right angles to the marker posts to find them, these historicaly have fished well in good water conditions,but they are only a starting point.
Explore the river for yourself and you may be surprised to discover that one of the many pools, runs and side eddies, often no bigger than your dining table, will yield a fish or two!

Due to the recent high temperatures the June stocking for the reservoir has not gone ahead, our suppliers are not keen to deliver fish to us in these conditions as the fish will be highly stressed and possible infections could occur. We will keep members updated on this situation. Thanks for your patience.
DDAC member Bob Clark fished Loch Tarsan on Monday evening (28th May) and said its probably the lowest he’s seen the water level there, he still managed a pair of plump brownies though … nice one Bob !
On Saturday 12 May, Dunoon and District Angling Club had their first outing of the season to the Lake of Menteith. The weather was a bit bright for the fishing but 11 members had an enjoyable day. Davy Landsburgh, President of DDAC presented Andy Mallaney with a bottle of whisky for the Best Basket with 3 rainbow trout weighing a total of 8 lbs and also a half bottle of whisky to Ron Ganley who had the heaviest rainbow trout weighing 3 lb 10 oz.
Dear Members.
It has been brought to my attention that the swans have moved their nest from the dam outlet to the WEST ISLAND. The female swan has built a new nest and is sitting on eggs, barriers have been erected so as not to disturb the nest.
Fellow anglers please do not cross the barriers to fish, as this area is temporarily out of bounds from 1st May until the end of June until the eggs have hatched.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Davy Landsburgh Club President.
Two boats have now had successful repairs carried out and are now back in the water, so now all four boats are at their moorings and ready for use … tight lines !
