DDAC member Terry Markwick landed this nice full finned 4lb’er this week, nice fish to start the season … well done Terry !
News
The “Ressie” had its first stocking of the 2016 season today, perfect condition hard fighting Rainbow trout were put in from the 2lb mark upwards, they will provide good sport for those anglers brave enough to venture up and wet a line, good luck guys because the forecasts not to good, snow showers are predicted tomorrow, and a biting wind for the rest of the week.
Members are reminded that from now on, when booking a boat for either Loch Tarsan or Loch Eck, you must specify which type of boat you require, either long shaft or short shaft ! This saves disappointment when arriving at the water and your boat is being used by others.
Thanks for your help in this matter.
Help is required for the boats in on 6th March at 10am for Loch Tarsan and also 13th March at 10am for Loch Loskin it would be nice to see some new faces there apart from the usual lads who turn out religiously every time ! The job wont take long, and remember many hands make light work.
I thought this was worth a mention on the website seeing DDAC was involved with it, please click on the link below to read all about it.
