This year’s competition was fished over the last week from Sunday 13th September until Sunday 20th September.
Thirteen members fished the competition with only 4 members weighing in.
On Sunday 13th September, 2 members weighed in with 5 fish each and on Monday 14th September 2 members weighed in with 5 fish each.
From Tuesday 15th September until Friday 18th 6 members tried to fish. The weather conditions of severe wind and rain made it very difficult for members to fish and as a result no members weighed in on these days.
On Saturday 19th September, the weather conditions had improved and allowed 2 members to fish the water all day with no success as the water was very muddy brown and coloured.
On Sunday 20th, the water was still very coloured and 3 members fished all day without touching a fish.
The results are as follows:
First – David Halliday – Best basket – 5 fish for 10 lb 3 oz. Heaviest fish 2 lb 3 oz
Second – Colin Brown – 5 fish for 10 lb 1 oz with the heaviest fish 2 lb 3 oz
Third – Graeme Henry – 5 fish for 9 lb 6 oz with heaviest fish at 2 lb 3 and a half ounces
Winner of Pittman Trophy – David Halliday – Best Basket
Winner of Pittman Tankard for largest fish – Graeme Henry
Reservoir
Some good sport to be had at the Reservior, member C Neil (Burkey) managed 5 fish in under 2 hours fishing.
Hi Members
At last, the cooler weather has arrived and so have the fish! 215 lovely rainbow trout were stocked in the Reservoir today (Thursday).
Tight lines

The Reservoir was due to be stocked on Monday 13th July but our fish supplier has advised us that he cannot transport the fish safely due to the hot weather so the stocking will not take place until the middle of next week, weather dependent.
Dear Members & Visitors.
Just a wee note to let you know that 212 lovely rainbow trout were stocked into the Reservoir yesterday (Tuesday).
Brown trout – members, I am sure you are all waiting for the brown trout as I am. Our fish suppliers are having terrible trouble with the trout but he assures me that a delivery will be made during the week beginning 15th June. Sorry for the delay but this is outwith my control.
Davy
Stocking Convenor
