The Club came in second place on Saturday 30th May in the Scottish Clubs Heat 5 Competition at The Lake of Menteith.Conditions weren’t very kind to us on Saturday at the Lake, strong cold winds, very heavy showers, and very few fish. Twenty members turned up on the day, with only two weighing in, with a miserable four fish between them ! A couple of anglers caught smallish pike. Keith McKenzie won with 3 fish for 7lb 7oz (biggest fish 2lb 14oz) and John Pickett Sr 1 fish for 2lb 4oz. Well done guys ! A big thanks to David Lilley for organising the outing and arranging the dinner at the Beech Tree Inn at Dumgoyne.
There has been a few reports of sizeable seatrout getting caught in the Holy Loch, seems they are on the way in early this year. 😉
A wee snippit from the Greenock Telegraph a couple of years ago, just goes to show what the Loch can produce with a bit of patience.
An article from the December 2009 issue of Flyfishing & Flytying Magazine, should bring back a few memories !
Couldn’t resist this photo, always take care near water !
A week today and the Brown trout season kicks off, get the tackle out the shed and dusted down. Tight lines and all the best of luck for 2015, it’s going to be a good one !
