Winter permits are now available at the Observer shop, cost is £45.00. This permit allows the DDAC member to fish the Bishop’s Glen Reservoir from the 1st Nov. 2025 to 28th Feb. 2026. The member is allowed to fish the reservoir during daylight hours only and fish as many days during the monthly periods stated. A one fish bag limit per day is applied with catch & release thereafter
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.
Dear Members
Slight adjustment to previous notice re Loch Eck competition.
You must let Observer shop know your chosen date of fishing. If you wish to fish from the bank, notify shop of day you are going. If you wish to fish from boat, you must book boat at Observer shop for your chosen day.
Your catch will be recorded by photograph and measurement by tape/ruler on the day you fish and the fish should be returned to the water. If you fish from the bank, please take your own tape/ruler. If you fish from boat, there are rulers attached to seats.
Please email Davy Landsburgh or Duncan MacGillivray a photograph of your catch. There will be no physical weigh-in at the boatshed.

The day started as expected, weather wise, casting a rod and line in a wind powerful enough to bend your rod before you even cast, and hiding behind boulders to change your flies.
The catches on Tarsan have been very poor, due to the weather, which has not been great for the angler this year, throughout the UK.
There were only three members fishing today, namely: Graeme Henry, Allan Miller and Bill Rankin.
The winner on the day was Bill Rankin – 1 fish for 3/4 lb,. Allan Miller – 1 fish for 8 ozs, Graeme Henry – 1 fish for 6 ozs.
The overall winner is Allan Miller over the 5 Saturdays , he also holds the position for the biggest fish taken .
