Help is very much required at work parties and also at boats in/out of the water especially up the Reservior and Loch Tarsan. Every year it’s the same people that faithfully come along to help with the work (average age 70+) The dates for these are listed in the year diary so please try to come along …. it’s your club, look after it !

Another nice Winter Rainbow at 3lb+ caught earlier in January, this time by member Bill Rankin … well done Bill ! … Just proof of what’s still in the Reservoir so get the thick socks inside the waders and get up there. Still good sport to be had up the Bishops Glen !
A fine pair of excellent quality Winter Rainbows caught up the Reservoir recently by club member Bob Clark, he caught them with a weighted Cats Whisker on a floating line with a long leader. Just goes to show the fish are in there for the taking …. Well done Bob !
Members are reminded that fishing permits for Dunoon Reservoir are at half price until the end of February (this applies to members only) Top quality fish are still up there and in good numbers, so make the most of the reduced price ….. and get fishing !
