Some nice catches weighed in so far in the Pittman Competition, Peter Manson (above) weighed in with 13lb 11oz on the second day, got a feeling that score will be hard to beat … good work Peter 🙂
The winner of the Outings Trophy for this year was Bill Rankin, who also caught the heaviest fish. Well done Bill 🙂
The Pittman Competition starts this Sunday (18th) and finishes the following Sunday (25th)
Get down to the paint shop and purchase your permit and choose your day
There are numerous items of fly tackle (rods, reels, neoprene waders etc) been placed in the Tarsan boathouse. These have been very kindly given to the club by the Widow of the Late Richard Elliott. Members are invited to take whatever they require, all that is asked is that they hand in a donation to the club for items taken.
Thanks for your attention … DDAC committee
Bill Rankin had a good day at Loch Tarsan recently with 12 fish taken on a dry fly, all fish were returned to fight another day … well done Bill !
The fifth and final competition for this year,was held on 6th August. A very poor turnout only four members attended the weigh in.
The top rod on the day was Bill Rankin, 6 fish at 4lb 5 ozs.
The overall results for the Tarsans competitions are as follows:
P J Mackenzie was Lee Lindop with 29 fish at 18lbs 12ozs.
The Tarsan Cup was Paul McLean with a fish of 1lb 6 ozs.
Lee Lindop, Bill Rankin & Keith Mackenzie will be representing the club next season at the National prelims.
“Thomson Trophy back in Dunoon!
DDAC and Dunrod had some very enjoyable and challenging fishing today.
Despite strong winds and some rain, teams from both clubs competed
for wild brownies from Dunrod waters high on the hills above Gourock.
This friendly rivalry helps cement the close ties between our two clubs.
Our Dunoon team were comfortable winners and will hold the Thomson Cup
until next year, when we’ll compete all over again.”
Nice photo of a Damsel Fly taken on the bank at the River Ruel by Bill Rankin, not a common sight !
Nothing to do with fishing but I thought I’d post it anyway seeing it’s such a cracking photo.
A very windy day and hard conditions for all.
Sixteen members fished with only seven catching fish.
Lee Lindop won with 7lb 2oz, second was Bill Rankin with 7lb, third was Keith MacKenzie with 6lb 4oz, and fourth was Jake Chambers with 6lb.
Bill Rankin had the heaviest fish at 2lb 8oz.
The Inn at Muckhart was an excellent choice yet again with superb food !
