News
There are numerous items of fly tackle (rods, reels, neoprene waders etc) been placed in the Tarsan boathouse. These have been very kindly given to the club by the Widow of the Late Richard Elliott. Members are invited to take whatever they require, all that is asked is that they hand in a donation to the club for items taken.
Thanks for your attention … DDAC committee
The fifth and final competition for this year,was held on 6th August. A very poor turnout only four members attended the weigh in.
The top rod on the day was Bill Rankin, 6 fish at 4lb 5 ozs.
The overall results for the Tarsans competitions are as follows:
P J Mackenzie was Lee Lindop with 29 fish at 18lbs 12ozs.
The Tarsan Cup was Paul McLean with a fish of 1lb 6 ozs.
Lee Lindop, Bill Rankin & Keith Mackenzie will be representing the club next season at the National prelims.
“Thomson Trophy back in Dunoon!
DDAC and Dunrod had some very enjoyable and challenging fishing today.
Despite strong winds and some rain, teams from both clubs competed
for wild brownies from Dunrod waters high on the hills above Gourock.
This friendly rivalry helps cement the close ties between our two clubs.
Our Dunoon team were comfortable winners and will hold the Thomson Cup
until next year, when we’ll compete all over again.”
It has been noted that there is a big shortage of “Catch Returns” from members and visitors after fishing the Reservoir.
These slips are important, we need these figures to calculate the numbers of fish left in the water so we can adjust stocking numbers accordingly !
There is a post box for permit slips at the car park area, or if it suits better handed into Campbells Paint Shop in Argyll St. So if anyone has slips still that are in the pocket of their jacket or lying around the house please hand them in, or if its too far to travel please email the details of catch and stub number on the permit to .. dunoonangling@gmail.com.

Tarsan Moth Competition 2016
Disappointing turnout – only 5 competitors appeared at the weigh-in.
A hard evening with the trout being very hard to tempt initially,
but once the sun had gone down, then fishing improved –
unfortunately so did the midges!
Winner – Lee Lindop with 8 fish for 7lb 3oz
“Another excellent way to learn more about your waters is to participate in river cleanups or work parties that aim to improve facilities. Besides making new friends you will be helping the club and benefiting from other members experiences. Ultimately though, to get the best from the Club waters, you will have to spend a lot of time not just fishing but walking and looking to find fish.”
The loch on Saturday, 28 May, was high and the fishing was hard. The top rod on the day was Lee Lindop, with 5 fish at 3lb 12ozs. Second place Mike Lindop with 4 fish at 2lb 13ozs.
A very disappointing turn out for the third Tarsan comp as only seven members weighed in.
14 members enjoyed a good day at Menteith in glorious weather. In fact members speculated it might be a difficult day to fish due to the bright conditions. However most folk caught fish, Ron Ganley excelled himself and caught a Pike.
The prizes for the day went to John Pickett with three fish for 8Lbs 13 Oz and Bill Rankin with three fish for 8Ibs 1Oz.
The total number of fish caught was 24 for 56Ibs.
The next Outing will be at Loch Frandy in July. We have been over subscribed for this Outing since December last year and have been assured by the fishery of first refusal if any boats become available due to cancellations.
Bank fishing is available at Frandy and one or two members have opted to bank fish if extra boats dont become available.
Ron Ganley did bank fish last year and had excellent results.
