It has been noted that there is a big shortage of “Catch Returns” from members and visitors after fishing the Reservoir.
These slips are important, we need these figures to calculate the numbers of fish left in the water so we can adjust stocking numbers accordingly !
There is a post box for permit slips at the car park area, or if it suits better handed into Campbells Paint Shop in Argyll St. So if anyone has slips still that are in the pocket of their jacket or lying around the house please hand them in, or if its too far to travel please email the details of catch and stub number on the permit to .. dunoonangling@gmail.com.

Weather wise a good days fishing but fish hard to come by for some.
Only six competitors weighed in at the boathouse.
The last Tarsan competition for 2016 is on Saturday 6 August.
The over 50 competition is on Wednesday 6 July.
Several nice fish caught on Tarsan today by Bill Rankin and Jake Chambers, the fish in the photos were caught by Bill were 1lb 1/2 oz and 1lb 11 1/2 oz. Just goes to show the quality of the stocked brownies that we are getting supplied with this season.
Tarsan Moth Competition 2016
Disappointing turnout – only 5 competitors appeared at the weigh-in.
A hard evening with the trout being very hard to tempt initially,
but once the sun had gone down, then fishing improved –
unfortunately so did the midges!
Winner – Lee Lindop with 8 fish for 7lb 3oz
“Another excellent way to learn more about your waters is to participate in river cleanups or work parties that aim to improve facilities. Besides making new friends you will be helping the club and benefiting from other members experiences. Ultimately though, to get the best from the Club waters, you will have to spend a lot of time not just fishing but walking and looking to find fish.”
The loch on Saturday, 28 May, was high and the fishing was hard. The top rod on the day was Lee Lindop, with 5 fish at 3lb 12ozs. Second place Mike Lindop with 4 fish at 2lb 13ozs.
A very disappointing turn out for the third Tarsan comp as only seven members weighed in.
14 members enjoyed a good day at Menteith in glorious weather. In fact members speculated it might be a difficult day to fish due to the bright conditions. However most folk caught fish, Ron Ganley excelled himself and caught a Pike.
The prizes for the day went to John Pickett with three fish for 8Lbs 13 Oz and Bill Rankin with three fish for 8Ibs 1Oz.
The total number of fish caught was 24 for 56Ibs.
The next Outing will be at Loch Frandy in July. We have been over subscribed for this Outing since December last year and have been assured by the fishery of first refusal if any boats become available due to cancellations.
Bank fishing is available at Frandy and one or two members have opted to bank fish if extra boats dont become available.
Ron Ganley did bank fish last year and had excellent results.
Second Tarsan comp on Sat 7 May, 9 members weighed in at boathouse all had caught fish.
The top rod of the day was Paul McLean with 10 fish weighing 9lb 12ozs and he also had the heaviest fish of 1lb 6ozs.
In second place was Lee Lindop with 10 fish weighing 7lb 12ozs.
Bill Rankin was in third place with 10 fish weighing 7lbs 5ozs.
Fifty two fish were caught at a total weight of 38lbs.
The next Tarsan Competition is Saturday 28 May, starting 12 noon.
