It can be quite confusing telling the difference between a sea trout and a salmon, click on the PDF files below to learn how.

The final results of the Reservoir Pittman Competition from 17th September until 24th September 2017.
18 members entered the Competition, 8 members attended the Weigh-In.

Second heaviest fish Allan Miller 3 lbs 7oz caught Friday 22nd September
Heaviest basket – Keith Mackenzie five fish for a total weight of 11 lbs 4 oz caught Tuesday 19th September.
John Pickett was second with five fish for a total weight of 11 lbs 1oz.
A beautiful day at Menteith but the fish were very picky with the flies. The algae was very bad in some areas like the roadside bays, it was like pulling your line through mud and the ban on killing fish was still in force. Lee Lindop had the best three fish and Davy Landsburgh tied with BIll Rankin for largest. Harry Lindop caught the most (9) but most of us struggled to get any at all. The total catch for the 13 members was 22.
Just goes to show there are still plenty fish in Loch Tarsan even after the competitions have finished, Bill Rankin had excellent day last weekend and caught 13 fish all well above the 9″ two of which are shown here, 1lb and a 1-3/4lb fish, and all were returned to the water unharmed. Allan Miller also had 5 good fish to his name and returned safely. So plenty fish up there and still another full month of the brown trout season to go … get up there !
