Sea lice Monitoring Loch Riddon
A recent netting of the Ruel Estuary produced only a small number of sea trout for lice analysis. This work however remains important for the future of our river fishing. Please consider helping if you can. The next planned netting is on June 26th, meeting at Salt House Point @ 9.30 am
A big thanks to the person who found my lanyard with forceps and line nippers attached. I found them tied to the gate at Loch Tarsan this afternoon . Thank you … Bob Clark

Loch Tarsan. Competition. No. 2
The second Tarsan Competition of 2024 saw some very good bags returned. All 5 anglers who took part weighed in fish at the end of a decent day on the Loch, three of whom had catch limits of 5 fish each. Warmer air temperatures, overcast skies and a light breeze presented very reasonable conditions for Loch Tarsan, although the water level is beginning to drop and expose the mud again. Once again Bill Rankin edged it for his second successive competition win. Alan Miller and Graeme Henry were second and third respectively, with only an ounce between them. Keith MacKenzie had 4 decent trout, while yours truly managed a brace. Biggest fish of the day went to Bill also with a 1lbs 3.9 oz specimen.
1.Bill Rankin. 5 fish. 5lbs 3.4 oz
2. Alan Miller. 5fish. 4lbs 14 oz
3. Graeme Henry. 5 fish. 4lbs 12.8 oz
4. Keith MacKenzie. 4 fish. 3lbs 14.6 oz
5. Duncan F. MacGillivray. 2 fish. 1lbs 14.3 oz
All in all, it was an enjoyable day that saw the race for the Club Championship gather a bit of pace. It promises to be a keenly contested season. Well done to all who participated. Next up at Tarsan is the Moth Competition on the evening of Friday 14th June followed by Competition No. 3 on Saturday 22nd June. Hope to see you there!
