Nice wee brown trout (other two were slightly bigger) taken from Loch Tarsan this weekend, probably around the 12oz mark, just shows that they are there for the taking, but you have to work hard for them … try “black and red” 😉
The new season got off to a good start on Tuesday, with all boats on Loch Loskin booked, fish were caught in good numbers by all anglers, some taking catches to double figures (that’s numbers not weight ) So what are you all waiting for ? Book a boat and get down there.
Loch Tarsan fished well also, even though it hasn’t been stocked yet, anglers landed several perfect condition overwintered brownies.
Fish are valuable
members are reminded to return fish carefully when using “catch and release”
One of the last fly tying evenings of the winter, with President Jake Chambers in full flow, explaining the history and methods used of the pattern to be tied on the evening.
A lovely morning for boats in at Tarsan, even though it was a tad cold, the loch was frozen over at boathouse bay and we had a bit of bother at first freeing the mooring lines from the ice. Nine members turned out to help with the job, a big thanks to them 🙂 … thought maybe a few new faces would have turned out to share the workload, but was not to be ! Hey-ho that’s life 
DDAC member Terry Markwick landed this nice full finned 4lb’er this week, nice fish to start the season … well done Terry !
The “Ressie” had its first stocking of the 2016 season today, perfect condition hard fighting Rainbow trout were put in from the 2lb mark upwards, they will provide good sport for those anglers brave enough to venture up and wet a line, good luck guys because the forecasts not to good, snow showers are predicted tomorrow, and a biting wind for the rest of the week.
A friend of mine took this image, looking down at nearly the whole length of Loch Eck, taken from the hill up behind the Coylett Inn. Wont be that long till the boats are in the water here, roll on the Summer (if we get one that is)
Members are reminded that from now on, when booking a boat for either Loch Tarsan or Loch Eck, you must specify which type of boat you require, either long shaft or short shaft ! This saves disappointment when arriving at the water and your boat is being used by others.
Thanks for your help in this matter.
Help is required for the boats in on 6th March at 10am for Loch Tarsan and also 13th March at 10am for Loch Loskin it would be nice to see some new faces there apart from the usual lads who turn out religiously every time ! The job wont take long, and remember many hands make light work.
I thought this was worth a mention on the website seeing DDAC was involved with it, please click on the link below to read all about it.
