Boats going in on Sunday 26th April at 10am. Can you help.
Uncategorized
The reservoir has now been stocked with 200 – 2 lb rainbows.
Fish well and treat them well.
Five evening permits at £25 per book are now on sale at the Observer shop.
Fishing at the reservoir from May – Aug only, with a one fish kill followed by catch & release.
Fishing time is from 5pm – dusk
Despite the weather, the competition still went ahead, with five brave competitors turning up, unfortunately there was no fish weighed in. The next four competitions will be interesting as the competition is run over five saturdays with one saturday being dropped at final weigh in, and this one being that saturday.
It’s always a sad day when the boats are taken out the water for the winter. Thanks to all members that attended for the help, many hands make light work ! … Roll on Spring 2026 when we get the boats back out the shed, and get to do it all over again.
NOTICE :
The winner of the P.J. Mackenzie Trophy and Club Champion was Bill Rankin. He was unable to attend on the night due to feeling “out of sorts” we wish him a speedy recovery.

DDAC recent activities.
With another season well underway and members and visitors catching fish and enjoying our waters, here is some of the work taking place behind the scenesat DDAC.
Regular stocking has been taking place at all of our still waters. A change of fish supplier was required due to the closure of Belhaven Fishery. Invicta Fishery has now taken over and have provided several loads of high-quality fish in an efficient and professional manner. Various club members regularly volunteer to assist with this crucial task.
A new multi visit, evening ticket has been introduced at the Reservoir for members that should allow anglers to have a go at short notice, when circumstances and conditions are favourable for them.
Work is continuing to improve and promote fishing at the River Ruel and has included a large additional pool becoming part of our our beat on a three-year lease, an audacious, grant funded operation to remove a particularly large and problematic dead tree from said pool, an informative evening tour of our beat by Ruel Convener, Bob Clark and Club members continuing to provide support with netting and monitoring of sea trout in partnership with the Argyll Fisheries Trust.
If you would like to get involved in any of these activities, please contact Club Secretary on 07814910795. Alternatively, you can contact any Committee member or email the Club at
Finally we have received some very positive feedback recently that helps to make all the efforts of Club members worthwhile –
