The final Tarsan competition was held on Saturday 5th August 2017. Only five competitors came to the weigh in. The top rod was Bill Rankin, with six fish at 2lbs 15ozs. All five competitors weighed in fish.

After five days of intense fishing the Tarsan Competition for 2017 has drawn to a close.

Nine members fished the competition

Total fish caught was 102 @ 68lbs 7oz and the heaviest fish was 1lb 5oz and the average weight was 10.7oz

1st place was Lee Lindop with 31 @ 20lbs 13oz

2nd place was Keith Mackenzie with 21 @ 13lbs 1oz

3rd place was Bill Rankin with 19 @ 10lbs 14oz

So the winner of the P.J. Mackenzie Cup for 2017 is Lee Lindop, he also wins the Tarsan Cup for the heaviest fish at 1lb 5oz …. well done Lee !

So next season Lee Lindop, Bill Rankin and Keith Mackenzie go through to represent the club in the Scottish Nationals Competition, we wish them well !

16 members attended, great hospitality was provided by the Carron manager. The weather was very windy with a fair bit of rain so we were fighting the conditions all day to get a decent drift.
14 fish were caught, Lee Lindop took the best basket 3 fish for 6lb 2oz, Harry Lindop took the best fish at 7lb caught from the bank after their engine broke down. Only 3 members caught the limit of 3 fish for the competition.
The day was a repeat of the July outing to Frandy last year.
A good meal was had at the Oak Tree, Balmaha.

The water was very high, making fishing from the bank very difficult and seven competitors came to the weigh in at the boat house at 11pm. The results are as follows:

Lee Lindop was top rod, with 8 fish at 4lb 3oz.

Second was Harry Lindop, with 3 fish at 1lb 9ozs.

Therefore Lee Lindop wins the Tarsan Moth competition for 2017
