A Scottish loch in a unique island setting, which has produced pike to over 40lbs, is set to welcome the Pike Anglers Club.
Special events organiser Mark Skinner said the PAC had four days booked on Loch Fad, on the Isle of Bute. Two of them will be in November, two in February.
“We’re very pleased to have negotiated access for the club,” Mark added. “We are always looking to expand our calender of events, because they are very popular with members.”
It’s not hard to see why, with fish to 39lbs 8oz caught during club events last season. Lyn Baker’s Menteith capture was the biggest pike ever caught by a female angler.
“When a new member comes to her first event and catches a fish like that, it sums up one of the things the club’s here for,” said Mark.
“Any member can apply to fish one of our events and be in with a chance of catching a fish like that.”
Usual PAC event rules will apply. Members can apply for places using the form in Pikelines and there will be a draw if the event is over-subscribed.
PAC events on several other waters are expected to be announced shortly. More information on the club’s website www.pacgb.com.
