Dear Members & Visitors.
Just a wee note to let you know that 212 lovely rainbow trout were stocked into the Reservoir yesterday (Tuesday).
Brown trout – members, I am sure you are all waiting for the brown trout as I am. Our fish suppliers are having terrible trouble with the trout but he assures me that a delivery will be made during the week beginning 15th June. Sorry for the delay but this is outwith my control.

The second saturday competition went ahead with 5 competitors.
The weather, well, a bit too much sun and not much water to fish.
Bill Rankin won the second saturday with one fish weighing 3/4lb.
Three more saturdays left to win this 5 saturday competition.
Dear Members
I received a phone call from Paul Murdoch of Nith Valley Trout, our brown trout fish supplier informing me that the brown trout were due to come from Ireland on 18th April but this has been delayed until 28th April and the fish are a bit small (280 g). Paul has recommended that we do not take a stocking until the end of May when it is hoped that the fish will be around the 450 g (1 lb) mark. This means that the Lochan and the Tarsan will not be stocked until the end of May.
Best
