Several fish have been caught this week in the Loch Eck Competition but I think this beastie will take some beating, caught by Keith McKenzie a sea trout weighed in at 8lb’s and safely returned after a quick photo. Keith was fishing today with Bill Rankin who also caught. There is still a few days left to fish, with rain coming in for the weekend, could make a difference !
Some decent sea trout are getting caught on Loch Eck, the one pictured above was caught on the fly last week (and safely returned), the weather is similar to last year for the competition, no rainfall forecast and bright sunshine too, not an ideal combination but fish are getting caught on the loch, so get out there and get fishing !
The Loch Eck Trophy starts this Saturday 8th and runs till the following Saturday 15th, weigh-in will be at 5pm at the boathouse each day. When you book your boat tell John at the Paint Shop you are fishing the competition.
The boats all came out the Tarsan today for the end of the brown trout season, a nice sunny day and a good attendance made life easier. One of the boats was in need of repair, so was taken to Tighnabruaich for the attention of the experts. Thanks to all who came along !
Bill Rankin caught his first salmon from the River Ruel today, a nice cock fish around the 6+lbs mark, all he would divulge was it was taken on a size 12 fly, a quick photo and then safely returned to the water to continue its journey. Well done Bill and thanks for sharing.
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
