We're open for Season 2024

Season 2024 got off to a great start on Saturday, March 2, with 12 boats setting out on the Island Pond, and one on the North Pond.
The weather was kind to us, bright if cloudy, and not too windy. Perfect!
Club President, Ian McLean, welcomed everyone to this superb opening day, and all anglers were keen to cast off.
And it wasn't long before many super-fit – and hard-fighting – rainbows in superb condition were rising to the fly.
In all, 41 fish were kept for 84 lb 8 ozs, and 69 returned.
Green and black flies were the order of the day, with Gold Heads, Dancers and Black Buzzers, Cat's Whisker, Orange Blob, small black Fritz Booby and blue Zulu also being popular with the fish. One angler reckoned the fish weren't deep, and were game to have a go if you could land your fly near to them.
Successful lines included Sink Tip, Midge, Di3, Intermediate and Floating. What a fantastic start to the season! Book now. Phone the bailiff on 01382 370300.
Many thanks to Steph for the Opening Day photo.

Another 1000 fish go in pre-season


Just prior to the season start another 1000 fish were stocked, the fish shared between the Island and North Ponds.
So, no excuse all you keen fly fishermen – book now to make sure you can get in on the action.
Thanks to Jerry Forteath for this terrific image.

BOOK NOW – phone the bailiff on 01382 370300.
