Summer 2013 Prices

The 2013 Summer prices come into effect from Monday 1 April.  In spite of the fact that all of our various costs have risen over the past year, we are keeping our prices at the 2012 rates.  It is also worth noting that our Catch and Release tickets have remained unaltered since 2010. 

In addition, we are introducing the midweek special offer which proved popular over the winter.

The prices are as follows:

Fishery Update - Saturday 30 March

In common with the last few days, the lochans were both frozen at 08.00 but have started to thaw.  At 10.30, half of the top Lochan has thawed and we anticipate that enough of the top Lochan will be clear for some fishing to be possible by midday.  Consequently, we will open the gates at 11.30.

A heavy frost is forecast for tonight, and given that the clocks go forward tonight, it is likely that no fishing will be possible tomorrow morning, and possibly later into the day.  We will give a further update at 11.00 tomorrow morning.

We opened the gates yesterday afternoon as much of the ice had thawed during the morning.  Colin Moffat, who called in "on spec" caught 11 fish over 4 hours.

We are keeping the entry fee at £25 for the 4th year in succession but are introducing some changes:

1.  The league will operate on a points basis, with each heat winner getting 10 points, runner-up 9 points, etc down to 10th place who gets 1 point.
