Our latest fishing competition took place yesterday and again the response from our members was impressive with a small increase to 22 entrants from last months 21. This event has proven to be very popular amongst our membership and has benefitted all in relation to the increase in friendships both socially and sportingly.
With a good pot to the winners of both categories for largest Salmon and largest Sea Trout the anglers braved a very strong wind throughout the day. The largest Salmon was won by club member Donald Brown and the largest Sea Trout was won by club member Alun Pryce.
On a day of high winds and challenging conditions club member Alex Doey came to the rescue of two paddle boarders who had got into difficulty off Auchentulloch bay, with the wind preventing them returning to shore. Alex took in his rods in and initially told them to hold onto his boat but eventually had to throw them a rope and tow them back to shore. It highlights although the Loch is a beautiful place it is also very dangerous. A big thank you to Alex for helping the paddle boarders return to shore.
The date of next months competition will be uploaded as soon as it is confirmed, and again there must be recognition to the time and effort Robert and Sandra Ann have put into making this event such a success.
Continuing with our series of events, we have a country and western night on the 24 Oct, tickets are priced at £5 and are available to our members, their family and friends.
A reminder to members the club will be open on 18 & 25 Oct from 12.30 - 3pm to enable members to pay the second instalments of their club fees.
