Another good week produced plenty of trout.  The fishery lochans are all fishing very well at the moment.  Many anglers bagged up and the average weight was over 3lb per trout with many 4lb –5lb trout caught over the week.  Many of the larger resident fish are being caught at the moment.

Club Bookings now being taken for 2008, clubs are advised to book early to get the dates they want.
