Reservoir
The Pittman Competition ran from Sunday 17th September until Sunday 24th September.
Seventeen members fished the competition over a terrible week of wind and rain. On Sunday 17th September, 3 members weighed in with 5 fish each.
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, no members weighed in due to high winds and heavy rain. On Friday 22nd September, 5 members fished from 7.30 am until the weigh-in at 5.00 pm at the car park. None of the members had touched a fish.
Two skilled members fished the Reservoir on Saturday from dawn until 3.00 pm and did not touch a fish.
No members weighed in on Sunday 24th due to high winds and rain again.
The results are as follows:
1st – David Halliday – 5 fish for total weight 10 lb 6 oz
2nd – Gordon Cardy – 5 fish for total weight 9 lb 14 oz
3rd – Ron Ganley – 5 fish for total weight 9 lb 12 oz
Heaviest fish – David Halliday – 2 lb 10 oz
Therefore David Halliday wins the Pittman Competition and also has the heaviest fish. Well done David!

Member Bob Clark had a good start to the season this week with these two respectable rainbow trout, just goes to prove there is still good sport to be had even at this time of year … well done Bob 👏
Graeme Henry found these photos on his phone taken up Dunoon Reservoir in August 2020. The two hefty rainbows are 6lb 4oz and 6lb 8oz. A nice warm day by the looks of it, accompanied by his dad Tom. These days will soon return, we hope ! … Thanks for sharing Graeme 👍
Dear members and visitors
We are having complaints from the public about discarded fishing line – see photo. I would hope that no member of the Club would leave any line lying around. Line like this is detrimental to the safety of wildlife. If you see any line lying around, please pick up, take home and discard in a safe way. Davy
James Dominick caught this hefty rainbow up the Dunoon Reservoir today … Well done James 👏
Paul Maclean was up at Dunoon Reservoir today, he said “Fishing was good, best was this fish which was safely returned. Tactics was washing line with a booby on the point and buzzers on the droppers fished slowly or static.
Loads of fish showing and moving to hatching buzzers. Recommend getting up there for a cast.”
Well done Paul cracking fish !
