Bill Rankin and Alister McGilvery were out on Loch Eck on 8th Oct. Bill caught three nice fish, the biggest was 2.5 lbs and the others were half pounders, all returned safely. All caught on the fly … Well done !
Bill’s sea trout
Worthy winner of the competition was Bill Rankin with his 3lb Sea-Trout … well done Bill ! Twelve members fished during the week, a good turn-out for the time of year, The weather was terrific, blue sky, gentle light breezes, but unfortunately not the ideal conditions for Loch Eck. Hopefully next year will bring a bigger response and more favorable weather for trophy.
