We have two outings this year – First outing is to the Lake of Menteith on the 27th July.
The next outing is to Loch Ba on the 17th August, this is bank fishing only for wild Brown Trout.
Cost for this outing is your petrol there and back.
Those wishing to go please notify the Treasurer, indicating outing(s).
Do not believe all that is written about flies used in competitions, believe in yourself.
A gentle reminder to all, the Membership fees for 2024 are now due in. The fee for Ordinary membership is £110, Senior is £60 and no change for Juniors at £25.
BACS payment preferred – Name and membership number.
The AGM was held on Tuesday 6th February at the Argyll Hotel and was attended better than last year with a turn-out of 30 members.
Members approved 2 proposals on the night – firstly membership subscriptions increase by £10 and reduction of catch limit from 3 to 2 fish on the Reservoir, Loch Tarsan and Loch Loskin. All competitions would remain as first 5 fish. The Committee was re-elected en-bloc for another year.
After the business of the meeting, presentation of prizes was held with Graeme Henry being Club Champion.
Thanks to all who attended.

Davy, President
The ethos and purpose of the Rover Trophy is to encourage and promote fishing across all of the club waters.
Primarily to motivate more members to fish our migratory fish waters, and ultimately to catch fish from all eight club waters during the current season.
It is decidedly not a competition, but rather a challenge, and its success or otherwise is to be gauged by how many members discover or rediscover the joy of catching wild fish in wild places.
The entry to the challenge is by a timely submission of the annual returns, i.e. by the 25th of November of the current season.
All members who make a return by that date will be considered for the trophy.
The criteria for the award is as stated – To catch at least one fish from as many, or, the ultimate goal, all of the clubs’ waters. Using any method allowed, relative to that water.
Priority will be given to the migratory fish waters, and consideration will also be given to numbers and weights of all fish caught (except those taken from our stocked trout waters, which still need to be fished).
In the event of multiple members equalling the waters fished successfully, if necessary, the Committee will make a final decision as to the successful recipient member.
