The One Day Competition at the reservoir was a bit of a non-event, there was only one permit sold for the day and nobody turned up for the weigh-in. I guess the wind and rain was just too much on the day .. there is always next year !

Loch Tarsan is fishing well

Conditions weren’t very kind to us on Saturday at the Lake, strong cold winds, very heavy showers, and very few fish. Twenty members turned up on the day, with only two weighing in, with a miserable four fish between them ! A couple of anglers caught smallish pike. Keith McKenzie won with 3 fish for 7lb 7oz (biggest fish 2lb 14oz) and John Pickett Sr 1 fish for 2lb 4oz. Well done guys ! A big thanks to David Lilley for organising the outing and arranging the dinner at the Beech Tree Inn at Dumgoyne.
