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
The Reservoir was due to be stocked on Monday 13th July but our fish supplier has advised us that he cannot transport the fish safely due to the hot weather so the stocking will not take place until the middle of next week, weather dependent.
08/07/26 Over 50’s competition,Tarsan. Sunshine slight breeze and very high water. The water was well up and it made bank fishing dangerous as there were very little bank available around the loch.
Two members turned up and enjoyed a very warm days fishing, again the fish were not giving themselves up easily.
Bill Rankin – 5 fish -2lb 9.5ozs.
Keith Mackenzie – 2 fish – 1lb 10.1ozs.

Dear Members & Visitors.

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.
