Received a nice Thank You card from a guest who attended the recent Annual Dinner at the Argyll Hotel, we thought it would be nice to post it up.

The 2017 Annual Dinner was held in the Argyll Hotel, Dunoon last Saturday (25th) a great evening was had by all, the guest speakers were Arthur French and Jim Thomson, with Jim McSkimming presenting the Macaulay Tankard to an unsuspecting Bill Duff. Good food and great raffle prizes, a thoroughly entertaining evening from start to finish.
The last two trophies were awarded to their recipients at the Annual Dinner which was held at the Argyll Hotel last Saturday evening.
The Jimmy Docherty Rover Challenge Trophy was awarded to Bill Rankin and Allan Miller, for the most club waters fished with fish being caught.
And the Peter Manson Award went to John Pickett for the most fish being caught at Dunoon Reservior
Allan Miller also fished the Reservoir on Friday, he says that despite the harsh weather with heavy rain and added hailstones there are still quality rainbow trout there fort the taking….. so get the thermals on and get up there !
It seems the algae problem has been resolved on the Lake, Allan Miller and Bill Rankin were there on Wednesday. Allan took these two nice fish, with two more being returned, and Bill had three to the net for 10lbs.
Members can fish Dunoon Reservoir for half price (£4) from November through till February, some good quality fish still in there to get caught … so get up there !
Member Bill Rankin caught three sea-trout from one of our rivers, one at 3lb’s and two at 1lb, a one pound fish was returned…. Well done Bill ! Just goes to show there are quality fish about, maybe this will get the members off the sofa and up the rivers. 😉
16 members attended, great hospitality was provided by the Carron manager. The weather was very windy with a fair bit of rain so we were fighting the conditions all day to get a decent drift.
14 fish were caught, Lee Lindop took the best basket 3 fish for 6lb 2oz, Harry Lindop took the best fish at 7lb caught from the bank after their engine broke down. Only 3 members caught the limit of 3 fish for the competition.
The day was a repeat of the July outing to Frandy last year.
A good meal was had at the Oak Tree, Balmaha.
A nice sea-trout of 1 3/4 lbs caught today by DDAC member Bill Rankin, nice one Bill !
A strong gusting wind combined with a high loch made fishing hard on Saturday, 24 June 2017 for the fourth Tarsan competition. Only six competitors came to the weigh in at the boathouse at 6pm and the top rod for the day was Lee Lindop with 10 fish at 5lb 8ozs. In second place was Bill Rankin, with 4 at 2lbs
