DDAC member Steve Sorrell landed this hefty Rainbow Trout up at Dunoon Reservoir today, it weighed in at 9lb 12oz , just goes to show the quality of fish that are getting stocked just now …. well done Steve !
Tomorrow 5th May is the second day of the competition, starting at 12 noon, the weigh in is at the boathouse at 6pm . The forecasts quite good so why not come along !
Dear Members.
It has been brought to my attention that the swans have moved their nest from the dam outlet to the WEST ISLAND. The female swan has built a new nest and is sitting on eggs, barriers have been erected so as not to disturb the nest.
Fellow anglers please do not cross the barriers to fish, as this area is temporarily out of bounds from 1st May until the end of June until the eggs have hatched.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Davy Landsburgh Club President.
Two boats have now had successful repairs carried out and are now back in the water, so now all four boats are at their moorings and ready for use … tight lines !
The work party for Loch Tarsan scheduled for Wednesday 18th April is cancelled till further notice.

Top rod was Lee Lindop with 10 fish @ 8lbs 2oz

All boats are now ready for use in Loch Loskin, thanks to all the members who came along to help.
The Tarsan and Loskin have been stocked today (Monday) with brown trout so everything is ready for action.
