Cracking night on the Lake of Menteith for the Doo Cup 2020, albeit not a great many fish caught. Very well done to Adam Turner, winner. Nice fishing in tough conditions.

Pat and Archie Ure are among the eldest members of the Caurnie AC. The couple, who are in their 90s, took advantage of decent weather for a rare visit to the loch this morning. Unfortunately although they blanked this time, they informed us they had caught five during their previous visit.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and the instructions by the U.K. Government for everyone to stay at home, the Loch will be closed immediately, and for the duration of the lockdown. I hope members understand why this is the only sensible course of action.

The curtain came down on the brown trout season yesterday, Sunday 6th October 2019. Club President Jim Twaddle headed out to the loch for the last cast of the season yesterday and although the weather started off predictably windy and cold, after a few cups of tea the wind relented and he was joined by Read more about End of the 2019 season[…]

The Doo Cup this year was held on 18 July in truly atrocious wind and rain. Colin Biggar ended the winner with three trout for 3lb 10oz, narrowly beating Alan Small into second place by just 2oz.

The winner of today’s (rather windy) Summer Cup was Mark Anderson with three fish. Well done Elmo! Bert Noon (pictured top) caught the heaviest fish at 2lb 4oz or whatever that is in new money. Club President Jim Twaddle (bottom pic) was onto a bit of interesting alternative action today, with a sizeable perch caught Read more about Summer Cup 2019[…]
