IT IS A CRIME TO FISH WITHOUT A PERMIT

Another new Club Record!: Brown Trout 20lb 5oz

Huge congratulations to member Ian Baird on the new club record for a brown trout. Caught with a roach on 20th Nov, this fish weighed in at a hefty 20lbs 5oz. This fish, that was accidentally caught during pike fishing, was carefully and successfully returned. Well done Ian!

31st May 2022: Brown Trout 18 lb 1oz 8 grammes

Member, Steven O'Donnell, caught this 18.18lb brown trout on the lip with half a sardine whilst dead baiting for pike.

Steven and his son Reece spent over an hour nursing it but sadly didn’t recover. A superb catch Stephen and another reminder of "Fishing at It's best" with the fabulous fish that wait at Hillend Loch.

Day ticket holders are welcome to compete of the honour as a "club record holder" for Brown, Rainbow, Blue or Pike fish.
