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.
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.

The first day of the Tarsan Competition was a super day weather-wise, sunny with a strong breeze. Eight competitors took part and all found the fishing to be very hard, compounded by seemingly malfunctioning weighing scales but the winner, by a convincing margin was Lee Lindop.
Members and visitors are asked to consider the use of “barbless” hooks when fishing Loch Loskin, this greatly reduces stress and needless injury to the fish … Unhooking while fish are still in the water, and the use of knotless landing nets are recommended. Thanks for your attention
