This article highlights the precarious state of our wild salmon and sea trout stocks in Scotland. It is essential that responsible anglers continue to carefully return fish and help look after our club rivers and waters.
A new 10″ minimum fish size is now in effect for all our waters and competitions.
Remember only two visits per week on the Loskin. (See club manual)

Well done to all who fished the most recent Tarsan Competition! It was a decent day that started
with near perfect conditions- dull with a westerly wind. As the day wore on the wind dropped and
became more variable accompanied with periods of bright sunshine. Several intrepid ( and fit!)
anglers fished the top of the dog leg with this area providing the best sport on the day. All in all an
enjoyable day for anglers with a reasonable turn out. Well done to the two top bags returned by Lee
and Graeme. They covered a lot of ground and got the rewards for their endeavours. Hope to see
you all at the next Heat on 25 th of June and don’t forget the evening Moth Competition on the 17 th of
June.

Graeme Henry sent this in, he said ….. “4 of my 8 fish that I caught during the 1st Tarsan Comp. I caught them on the one cast. Couldn’t believe it. 1st time in nearly 40 years fishing and I doubt I’ll do it again”
Ron Ganley – 1 fish for 1lb 0.5 ozs
Keith Mackenzie – 1 fish for 1lb 3.1 ozs
David Munroe – 1 fish for 1lb 11.6 ozs
Lee Lindop – 5 fish for 5lbs 5 ozs
Colin Brown – 6 fish for 6lbs 9.1ozs
Graeme Henry – 8 fish for 7lbs 4.2 ozs (Graeme also weighed in the heaviest fish at 1 lb 14.7 ozs)
It was a hard days fishing, as the weather was as predicted, bright sun and a cold wind from N.W
The winner for 2021 was Bill Rankin … well fished Bill !
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 👍
We are looking at the ususal Menteith (June ?) followed by Harelaw fishery, Neilston (September ?) Harelaw is a top of the water fishery, mostly, the deepest part is the dam at aprox.12ft. No dates have been fixed yet !
We are looking for an early response from members for these outings so we can get an idea of boat bookings numbers. This is not a deposit booking but a heads up on members that might want to go.
Please contact Bill Rankin before the New Year, either by email or leave a message in the comments section on this post.
