There was a good turn out today to help with the monthly stocking at Dunoon Reservoir, another load of quality fish put in the water with plenty over the 4 lbs mark. Thanks to all the lads who turned up to help.
Please remember you need a permit to fish here at all times, all our waters are patrolled regularly, poaching will not be tolerated, and persons doing so will be reported to police.
On Thursday 6 June, President Davy Landsburgh and Club Members celebrated the launching of our new Coulam Defender 15 rowing boat – our newest asset. The launching was delayed due to lack of water but now all 4 boats are ready for fishing. The photos show the launching ceremony and the new boat attached to the mooring ropes.
The new boat is now at it’s moorings, therefore help is no longer needed tomorrow evening at Tarsan, a big thanks to all who offered to help.
Sightings of Osprey have been observed on both Dunoon Reservoir and at Loch Loskin recently so keep your eyes open for this … just hope he/she has purchased a permit at the paint shop and filled in the returns 🙂
Dear Members – as you probably all know, 3 of the Tarsan boats were put into the Tarsan on 10 March 2019. A week later, the Hydro Board were using the water to supply power to the grid and the water level receded a lot – so bad that the boats were lying in the mud. The edges of Loch Tarsan were even dangerous to fish from the bank due to the mud. Last Saturday evening, we took delivery of our new Coulam boat . The new boat was transferred from the delivery trailer on to DDAC’s trailer and was transported from the road-side down to the boat shed and stored inside the boat-shed as there was no water to launch the boat.
Members, I am now pleased to say that the Tarsan water is up to where the boats are floating well and the Tarsan is now open for business. The new boat will hopefully be in the water by the week-end.
Tight lines.
President Davy
Simon Mullins caught something a little exotic today up at the reservoir, blue trout, caught on buzzer and safely returned for someone else to enjoy another day.
Just a gentle reminder to those members who have not paid their annual subscription fee , this is due by June 1st, and is the same price as last year which is £100.
The third round of the Mackenzie Trophy was held today at Loch Tarsan and it was very poorly attended with only three members fishing and all three weighed in at the boathouse at 6pm.
Top rod on the day was Lee Lindop with 10 fish for 8lbs 5.5oz second was Allan Miller with 4 fish for 3lbs 5.3oz is and in third place was David Halliday with 1 fish for 15ozs, well done to all who took part in a very wet and cold day, but we really need more members to take part.
DDAC narrowly missed out on a semi final place at the Scottish Club Championships at the Lake of Menteith on Saturday 18th finishing in 4th place. Lee Lindop landed 12 fish for 23lb 5.6oz, Allan Miller landed 3 fish for 6lb 0.1oz and Ronnie Ganley landed 3 fish for 5lb 12.8oz, And Lee with his 12 fish qualified for the Champion of Champions final. Very well done to Lee, Allan and Ronnie.
