When boats are being moored at Eck and Tarsan, they must be left on taught ropes, to make sure the boats do not collide. There has been several incidents of this happening. The other problem that can arise if left on a slack line is the farthest boat can sometimes be blown around the bouys, which leads the angler having to use another boat to go out and untangle the ropes.

Graeme Henry 5 fish for 3lb 5.2ozs
The final winner was Bill Rankin with an 11 fish total, and the biggest fish.
Graeme Henry with a total of 10 fish.
Another hot day with a breeze, the water level was down enough to ground two of the boats, but making access around the loch slightly easier. A large area of the loch had been covered on both sides by the anglers trying to find fish. To their dismay the fish were coming short.
Result of the 4th competition – Zero fish returned
